Upon entering from its new entrance on West Main Street, there was soft carpet and clean, tan walls. All 687 persons could be seated in the immaculately clean, air conditioned auditorium, not in hard wooden chairs, but in patriotic orange and black cushioned, streamlined seats. In back, there was a projection room for moving pictures. The stage lacked nothing, from the beautiful velvet orange and black drop curtain to settings and floodlights.
