Two Tickets To Broadway

Yesterday we discovered one of the old Box Offices where you bought tickets to the penny seats in the currently unused balcony of The Coronet.  A thick layer of dust had settled on both the glass window of the box office and the floor around it, and it was there, nestled into bed of jet black powder we found a cinema ticket.  A beautiful olive tickets with red printed ink, a ticket that puts any of the current cinema tickets of today to shame. 

“Two Tickets To Broadway colour by Technicolor” on one side and, “In the same programme The Racket via Robert Mitchum, Lizabeth Scott, Robert Ryan” on the other.

It seems like these two films would have been among the last to be viewed from The Coronet Balcony as it was closed off shortly afterwards.  There are so many beautiful features of this building that have been hidden away from public view, and under sixty years’ worth of dust, that are so exciting to discover and we hope desperately to be able to show to the public once more.

Each day we all fall more in love with this building and we can assure you that it is being treated the upmost compassion.
