Second Floor Couch
The second floor is home to the gallery of posters that were discovered during the Restoration in 1980.

Several of these posters of early twentieth century plays and also of early motion picture stars are hung here.
Second Floor Gallery Stairway
The Gallery entrance is a separate entrance into the theatre which leads directly to the second floor. This entrance also had a separate box office. Therefore, people who bought the cheaper seats in the balcony could not mingle with the people who bought the more expensive main floor seats.
Second Floor West
Looking at the second floor from the east side looking to the west wall of the balcony lobby gives the viewer a glimpse of some of the many restored posters.
