This story has been well-documened,many times.I believe I read it first,in an old TAS,about 25 years ago.What I found surprising,was it took them so long to install the AC,when so many movie theatres made such a big deal about installing it,during The Depression.Why,one wonders,were other halls,able to do this (install AC),without ruining the acoustics ?

We're talking about a venue that seats over 2500 people and has over 100 musicians on stage in suits under hot lights. Any modernization efforts would obviously include the installation of air conditioning.

I find it particularly poignant that they did it to add A/C so that they could extend their season. A sad tale of greed. Marcos __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
