Formerly the main floor of the original movie theatre, this space was turned into an individual cinema in the mid-seventies after the balcony was walled off to form a separate cinema. 125 seats of the original 600 were removed to build a projection room. It is a lovely old theatre with many of the original touches still intact such as the great plaster torches with their stylized flames licking toward the ceiling, drawing the eye to the screen. The curtain is a magnificent brocade affair which looks gold under the lights and parts before each film with a subtle swoosh. The capacity is now 460 and it is used almost exclusively for film. The format is, as it is in the Stage, is “First Run” with an “art/international” film bent.

2 screens.
