This  is what the right side of the balcony looked like before it was cleaned out.  The door on the left leads to a small storage room/office.  The projection booth is to the left of that room.
 
Here is the same area after being cleaned out.
 
This is a view towards the left side of the balcony.  It is larger than the right side but has not been cleaned out yet.  The wall with windows on the left is the front of the storage room/office.  The projection booth is just past it.
 
This closeup of  part of the overhang shows some of the design painted on the original ceiling.  It was plastered over during the 1950 renovation and is only visible where the plaster has fallen off.
 
Here is a view looking back towards the right side. The projection booth is on the right. 
 
This is the front of the projection booth. The small door on the right is only about half the normal height. It was used to pass film reels into and out of the booth.
