Very few photos capture the interior better than this one.

Oh, how well I remember what these photos show…thanks for posting them!
There is nothing like an original. Its too bad we only have a few pictures, but we have our memories.
Excellent pictures! It is hard for me to remember the details of the inside of Central and these pictures sure help. I hope more and more pictures of the inside show up. I remember walking the halls but draw a blank when people talk detail.
Look at the number of seats there were in the auditorium. And they were all filled, plus standing room. A lot of noise and good times.
