The Paramount is a single-floor theatre with a capacity of 1140. Gold velvet curtains join both sides of the theatre across the screen eliminating a conventional proscenium. The auditorium is surrounded by a decorated frieze supported by fluted Corinthian columns, forming a pelmet for the main curtain. Classic statues on pedestals line the walls between repetitive sections of the gold velvet curtains. -- Typescript note in the front cover of the album
