I want to do a piece on this for my page so any info and pix (interior or exterior with old name) would be appreciated. Also were there ever any ads for the show painted on the sides of any of the "stages" at MGM? I would like pix of those as well, if they exist. Thank you!

    I love books, Ellen, and for some reason, have always liked stopping at Buy The Book.
    Can't really remember much in the way of changes made to the store, at least not in correlation to any name change.
