Anyone attending a performance there can sit in its original seats, for example, and perhaps marvel at how much smaller butts must have been back then. (The theater has since added some wider seats for those who want them.)</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.toledofreepress.com/?id=8179"><P>But the years have had their way with the old theater, and the nonprofit group running it is hoping to restore some of its past glory.
