Madison Theater: Peoria, IL. Auditorium view from balcony - 1921

1921 View of Madison’s proscenium opening showing main curtain, side stages and cut-out style orchestra pit. All of this would be remodeled in 1927 with the opening expanded to the outer arch and a new, more conventional style orchestra pit pushed out into the auditorium necessitating the loss of first several rows of seats.
