If the Varieties Club intends to build a
new theatre, as is said to be the intention,
let two important suggestions be ac-
cepted as important, if not imperative.
First, the location should be central, con-
spicuous and respectable. Second, the
theatre should be comfortable, capaeious
and elegant. If the site which has been
mentioned in this connection could be
secured, the club need not purchase the
Three Sisters entirely, as the theatre can
be built in the rear, with only a grand
entrance on Canal street. Suppose that
the front of the square was occupied by
stores, or by large and splendid restau-
rant, as is the case with the Teat,o Nacional
in the City of Mexico, the rent from this
would pay very handsome interest on
the ground. 1t would, moreover, insure
lively and prepossessing entrance to the
theatre. There is no reason why the
main front should be devoted to the ac-
commodation of the audience. What the
people desire is a good theatre, well To-
Gated, easy of access, and free from the
swell mob which now assemblies on st.
Charles street to watch the attendance as
it enters and exits.
Mr.. w. II. Henning, the well known and
popular grocer, No. - Camp street. has
received in addition to his large and
fine stock of staple groceries some
invoices of extra goods Of peculiar excel
lence. Mr.. Henning is well known to keep
on hand We very choicest articles in his line
of trade and now the various additions to
to his splendid stock doubles the induce
ments to give him call. He has the finest
and most reliable brands Of wines and
liquors. canned fruits aud vegetables. Sha-
ker preserves, English pickles. sauces and
table delicacies, Atmore's celebrated mince
meat, and choice teas, the best in the mar
ket. None who try the groceries at No. IS
Camp street will go unsatisfied away.
