[SML] Etymology of Passarale (Sp?)

[Stephen Rees]

I may well be mistaken, but I recall a wide path from house right to house
left that divided the orchestra seating into two sections a being referred
to as the passerelle in the main theatre at Bally's in Las Vegas. It was
permanent.  It's the house that Jubilee performs in.
