"The hall was packed. It seemed as if every one in Moonstone 
was there, even Mrs. Kohler, in her hood, and old Fritz. The
seats were wooden kitchen chairs, numbered, and nailed to
long planks which held them together in rows. As the floor was not raised, the chairs were all on the same level. The more interested persons in the audience peered over the heads of the people in front of them to get a good view of the stage."
Cather's description of the Opera House auditorium in The Song of the Lark.
