The Capitol Theatre

9  View of the dress circle foyer and the well which opens over the back stalls of the auditorium.

"In the foyer is a magnificent grouping of old Italian Renaissance furniture carved in dull walnut and covered with a rich French damask of copper tones; the design of the damask is also Italian Renaissance in period. Surrounding a balustraded area, where people may look down into the auditorium, are lounge seats upholstered in the same material, and with that deeply sprung effect of all luxurious couches. The vast arm chairs are examples of the wood-carvers' and upholsterers' skill."
