on the mezzanine/first balcony, 350 on the second balcony, and 16 in the boxes. There are 26 standing-only spots, as well as 28 removable seats in the orchestra pit. The theater contains restrooms in the basement, mezzanine, and balcony. The orchestra level is wheelchair-accessible, but the restrooms and other seating levels are not. The theater originally had a capacity of 1,400 seats. The New York Times described the decorative scheme as originally being "old Venetian gold, absinthe green, and amethyst". Mythological motifs are heavily featured in the interior. J. Mortimer Lichtenauer painted murals along the boxes, the area above the proscenium arch, and the ceiling. The murals contain figures with masks of Minoan and renaissance inspiration, as well as semi-nude females depicting music and drama. There were twenty-one figures; a contemporary publication said the murals had been completed in "a little less than two days". Architecture magazine cited the Shubert's interior as being "good of the more accepted theatre interior design", despite not being of "such exceptional excellence" as the neighboring Booth. Seating areas The rear or southern end of the orchestra contains a promenade measuring deep. Four piers, topped by plain capitals, support the mezzanine level and separate the promenade from the orchestra seating. The top of the orchestra promenade's walls contain a frieze with phoenixes and foliate decorations; several niches with arched pediments are placed within the frieze. The ceiling is a barrel vault, split into multiple sections by moldings; it contains an octagonal panel at the center. There are also lighting sconces and a standing rail in the orchestra promenade. Stairs in the promenade lead up to the mezzanine and balcony. The orchestra level is raked, sloping down toward an orchestra pit in front of the stage. The orchestra has paneled plasterwork side walls with fabric coverings, as well as lighting sconces. The mezzanine and balcony are both steeply raked. The rear of the mezzanine contains a promenade, similar to that on the orchestra. The underside of the mezzanine contains moldings and foliation, which surround murals that depict classical scenes. In front of the mezzanine and the balcony are plasterwork panels with swags and theatrical masks; the balcony's front rail is covered by light boxes. The side walls of both the mezzanine and the balcony contain plasterwork panels with fabric coverings; a shallow cornice separates the mezzanine from the balcony. There are doorways on both levels, above
