The theater opened in 1929 as a super-cinema and was modeled on the Roxy Cinema in New York City. Here musicians enter the stage door for the morning’s rehearsal. Photo by Todd Rosenberg

Tickets went very quickly for the free performance at Edinburgh Playhouse. The building is said to be haunted by a ghost named Albert, a man in a grey coat who appears on level six accompanied by a chill in the air. He is said to have been either a stagehand who was killed in an accident or a night watchman who committed suicide. No sightings were reported on this day. Photo by Todd Rosenberg
