Luckily, in 1986, it was lovingly restored and re-opened as the Hayden Orpheum!

Condition: good to very good. There is a theater snipe glued across the top of the poster that adds approximately 3 3/4" to the overall height of the poster (the poster was not trimmed and the snipe could surely be removed by a professional restorer, or talented amateur, if one chose to do so).
