2007.12.10. Moor's 100 year birthday

Open house celebration of Moore Theatre's 100 year's birthday. Presented by Seattle Theater Group. Short performances on stage started at 5pm. In the balcony, this man has attracted many kids (alike). Hors-d'oeuvre in the lobby, Starbucks' coffee and hot chocolate at the door. Short guided tours (lasted maybe 5 minutes) every half an hour. Historic photos and ticket stubs lined walls of balcony level, one of which advertised the new hotel offering rooms without bath for $1.25, and rooms with bath for $1.5. Opening on December 28, 1907, The Moore Theatre was one of the grandest theatres at the time. The historic Moore Hotel, once boasted the city’s only Olympics-sanctioned indoor swimming pool.
