Tse object of this Association is to carry out certain very
desirable improvements in the structure of theatres and their
internal economy. The new theatres lately erected in Pals
at the expense of the French Government have proved suc-
cessful, not only as architectural ornaments to that metropo-
lis, but have attracted popular patronage from the older and
inconven ent places of amusement. It is proposed to accom-
plish in London by private ente prise that which in France
has been done by Government subsidy,
This Company has purchased a long leasehold in the Bay-
market, whereon a theatre wi 1 be erected, embracing all the
advantages and improvements to which the people of Lonnon
are entitled ; including wide en 'Tits, ces, -roomy seats, unob-
structed passages, and good ventilation By adopting a more
simple plan of construction, not only is the cost of the build-
ing diminished, but the cost of management and maintenan T
is m .terially reduced. Contracts for the performance of all
the work are before the Directors, and the amount is safely
within the limits of the capital. A freehold of equally ample
dimensions, and .n the immediate neighbourhood, can be
obtained, and the Dire, tors reserve the right to prefer that
site, it in the interest of the Company it shall seem to them
advisab e.
This Company has also acquired the long leasehold of
nearly an acre of land on the corner of Westminster-bridge,
with frontage on the bridge, in the Westminster-bridge-road,
and also on the river, facing the Houses of Parliament ; in-
cluding the West iiinster Theatre, its whole stock of scenery.
wardrobe, property. and machinery. On a portion of this
ground will be erected, among other ► uilding.s, a large paint-
ing-room, machinery works, and property manufactory, to
serve b th theatres.
The Directors have received an offer from Mr. Boucicault
to lease the whole at a rent a hich will pay the shareholders
10 per cent. on the capital subscribed ; or to manage the en-
terprise on their bshalf, receiving for his services one-third of
the net profits, after all outgoings have been paid. The
Directors have resolved to accept the latter form of the offer,
having satisfied themselves that during the erection of the
proposed new the itre the Westminster Theatre alone will
pay the shareholders 10 per cent. on their subscriptions. The
dividend will commence from the date of allotment, and it is
proposed shall be payable quarterly. When the buildings
are completed, which will probably occupy about four months,
a dividend of more than double that amount may be reason-
ably anticipated.
The satisfactory features of this enterprise are these :—lt
is based on valuable and substantial property, which, in its
present unimproved state is rented for .£4,103 a year ; a value
which, if the property is left undisturbed, will be greatly en-
hanced by the new southern embankment, which comes on
its principal frontage. And secondly, from the moment of
the formation the Company comes into the posse, sion of a
part of the project in full operation earning a dividend.
A large number of the shares have teen privately sub-
scrib-d for.
Applicat ons for shares may be made to the solicitors of the
Company, to the Secretary at the offices of the Company, or
at the Theatre Hopi, Westminster.
