"Entering the theatre, from Swanston Street, the curious and heavily gilded ticket boxes attract immediate attention.
Most original in design and construction, they are decorated entirely in cubes and squares of bronze plaster and metal, these decorations forming frames for the large sheets of grained glass which serve as walls to the boxes. Behind the glass, gold leaf was heavily applied."
