Interesting substantial article on four theatres (theaters?) and the life on their stages, on fine sources, no copyvio obvious. The image is licensed and a good illustration. I will approve the hook if you want, but beg you to consider that we had a similar one for the separate article on that fire, in 2010. I found interesting that three of the four buildings burnt down, which would also include that the name doesn't mean only one. Suggestions for the article (not needed for approval), and actually for any article: mark upright images "upright", have images right unless a face looks to the right, add an infobox. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 23:28, 13 May 2024 (UTC)
