There was a pass door just inside the stage door of the Prince's, which was at street level, and this led into the back of the circle of the Palace. The Palace Theatre closed in 1938, many years before the Prince's Theatre but a lot of old equipment was still left inside including the dimmer mechanism. All the seats in the auditorium had gone however, and there was just the occasional safety light to see by. Right - The Auditorium of the Bradford Palace - Courtesy Michael Sherrington. |
