The broken maroon tiles have been replaced, and the
ticket window is new. The Royal is being restored inch
by inch to the glory of Wallace and Lena Kauffman’s
1949 remodel. We thank Curtis Ferguson for a gen-
erous donation which will help with the cost of the tile
and Dan Billingsley and crew for working with us.
Those who paid to name a seat, thank you, too. (And,
of course, we will be glad to accept other donations for
restoration project.)
