The auditorium was a cavernous space, seating 1360 in total, split between a spaciously raked circle (front and rear) and stalls (stepped towards the rear), with excellent sight-lines throughout. Textured fibreglass panelling was fitted to the side walls, partially concealing gold glass cloth backing, and variable lighting was installed in the outer rim of the ceiling to play different coloured schemes over the walls during intermissions. A single set of tabs (curtains) revealed the immense screen. Foyer areas were reached via escalator from a ground-floor box office; the upper foyer featured a fishpond. A somewhat flatter screen was installed following the revival of "Lawrence of Arabia" to allow for a less distorted view of the desert skylines. Digital sound was installed in the 1990s, including ceiling speakers.
