  • Description
    Black and white photograph showing the auditorium of the Criterion Theatre. The photograph is taken from downstage. Visible architectural elements include: the stalls; the serpentine-fronted dress circle and the lyre-shaped upper circle, both of which are supported by slender columns; and the circular flat ceiling. Curiously, there appear to be beds to the rear of the stalls and dress circle.
