Aberdeen Theatres: Vestibule of His Majesty's Theatre
The vestibule of His Majesty's Theatre, with the Box Office to the right of centre. The doors to Rosemount Viaduct are on the right of the image.

By 1927, the fortunes of the theatre were at a low ebb. In an effort to publicise the building nationally, a pictorial article appeared in a glossy weekly entitled "A Model Theatre". The Press & Journal newspaper lead a public appeal to save HMT in 1931.

The vestibule's black and white marbled floor provides a striking entrance, as does the polished wood surrounds. The ceiling itself consisted of a series of pre-fabricated panels. In the centre is the curtained doorway, taking the visitor into the "posh" seats.
