[The Moving Picture World, 8 January 1910, page 23] From an artistic standpoint the Victoria Theater is one of the handsomist theaters in the country. There are two floors — main floor and balcony — filled with comfortable chars and eight beautifully decorated boxes. It is of unusually solid construction and elaborately adorned both inside and out. On the top of the building sits an enormous plaster figure that easily attracts the glance of the passer-by. The auditorium and stage are fitted up with many modern conveniences. The decorations of both exterior and interior are handsome, the scheme being terra-cotta and dark green. Much additional beauty if procured by the lavish use of hundreds of electric lights. The house was designed by A. Lowther Forrest, architect. It is very commodious, having a seating capacity of 1,500, and is equipped with an unusually large stage. Mass & Co. were the builders and Henry L. Arntz was the decorator.
