Thank you Bob Foreman for yet another great chapter of this story.
The McCandless downlights in the ceiling were certainly interesting.
The "new Klieglights" look much different from the early Century "leko"s.
Then talk about dying with your boots on, the item about the electrician who died during a show...….wow.

Neat, thanks!
Bit of a tie-in, my house opened as the Orpheum (at least, on the drawing board), before becoming the RKO Iowa.

I had never heard of this theater, probably as they tore it down in 1954. It spent its later years exclusively doing ice shows. Wiki has a good article. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Center_Theatre_(New_York_City)
