It actually made everyone on the tour very quiet. I wanted to say, 'Hey, lady, we just paid $24 to take a look around this nice building and hear a few facts, not be yelled at every five minutes.' I know she was just doing her job but it felt like we were being scolded. She said this again, very loudly, a couple more times. We had barley started walking into the theater and she shouted a warning that later we have 10 stories to walk up and we'd better keep it moving (!!!). Her helper, however, was extremely annoying. Our guide was good, moved at a nice pace, answered most questions without a problem. We loved the black walnut, art deco paintings, sterling silver and gold leaf stars on the ceiling, the long ramps to the ballroom, the organ, lighting, Tiffany Lights, huge round ballroom and balcony. The history of this beautiful theater and event venue is interesting and the building is no doubt beautiful inside and out.

My husband and I happened by about 5 minutes before the tour started so we paid the $12 each and joined in.
