Each of the twelve boxes had its own door, and a curtain rail curving 
around the front so that the occupants could get some privacy between acts. 
They'd mothballed the curtains and replaced them with removable soundproof 
screens, unbolted the seats, and stored them in the basement. Now each box was 
a private egg-shaped room just the right size to serve as a body stage. These 
twelve stages generated seventy-five percent of the cash flow of the Theatre 
Parnasse.
