This story has been well-documened,many times.I believe I read it  first,in an old TAS,about 25 years ago.What I found surprising,was it  took them so long to install the AC,when so many movie theatres made  such a big deal about installing it,during The Depression.Why,one  wonders,were other halls,able to do this (install AC),without ruining  the acoustics ?

We're talking about a venue that seats over 2500 people and has over 100
musicians on stage in suits under hot lights. Any modernization efforts
would obviously include the installation of air conditioning.

I find it particularly poignant that they did it to add A/C so that they

could extend their season. A sad tale of greed.
