The Royal Comedy Theatre, Panton-Street, Haymarket, [London], 1881. 'Throughout the building there is an entire absence of corridors and passages. The different floors are concrete, and the staircases, where they exist, are fireproof. So free from obstructions of any kind is the building, that without the least hurry or confusion, it can be cleared, when every seat is occupied, in the space of three minutes. The ventilation is perfect...even when the house is crowded to its utmost capacity, everyone will have a full view of the stage...The ornamentation of the interior reflects high credit, as indeed the entire plan, on Mr. Verity, the architect of the building. It is of Renaissance style, richly moulded and finished in white and gold...The general contractors for the building are Messrs. Kirk and Randall...Mr. Littlejohns has fitted the stage with all the newest appliances. Messrs. Jackson and Sons have executed the carton-pierre enrichments. The fire-proof floors are of Dennet and Ingle's patent construction. The upholstering and seating have been done by Messrs. Shoolbred...The general decorations have been carried out by Mr. E. Bradwell, and the act-drop is by Messrs. Howell and James'. From "Illustrated London News", 1881.
