Whereas many of the original Atmospheric details of the theatre have been painted out, remnants of the original decoration still exist. For example, tree top outlines can be spotted above the faux roofline of the auditorium, along with backlit building windows, faux balconies, and the remnants of landscape murals on the walls behind arches and windows.

The balcony was closed-off from the main auditorium after the theatre ceased exhibiting films.

During its period of occupation by a church, the balcony was subdivided into small rooms which were used as classrooms. A corridor runs across the balcony effectively subdividing the area into a row of lower and upper classrooms. These areas are currently under renovation with the intention to reopen the balcony to the auditorium creating a number of flexible VIP spaces.

The theatre’s original Projection Booth is still intact, complete with tin panel walls and ceiling, at the rear center of the old balcony. At the center front of the balcony a space has been created with a large portal opening into the auditorium to facilitate movie projection and/or the use of followspots.

The main bar area is located at the rear of the main floor level of the auditorium in what would have originally been standing room space at the rear of the main floor seating level.

The lobby retains original features such as the split door pay box and Oriental-themed lantern on the balcony stairway.

The exterior of the theatre remains remarkably true to its original design, with businesses occupying adjoining street level spaces and the theatre thriving in the middle of them. Not much has changed in 100 years.

The theatre was originally equipped with a William Wood theatre organ however it has long since been removed. The organ chambers are occasionally used as additional performance spaces.
