This theatre will open for the season under the
fairest auspices. During the summer vacation the
entire establishment has undergone complete rem.
ovation. The paintwork and frescoes have all been
| retouched so that there Is freshness everywhere,
and the auditorium is one OF the brightest In the
/ city. 1t Is seldom this theatre has been closed
within the past few years even In the summer, but
the dulness which pervaded the theatrical business
Afforded good excuse for turning OF the footllghts
and shutting the doors, that the carpenters and
painters and upnosterers might have an opportu.

been 80 well used that the patrons OF the olympic
Will nnd themselves delighted with the
changes that have been wrought. And
in the meantime the management has been
eQuallV the mechanics. A large
stock company has been engaged and many
novelties are to be produced during the sea-
son. The design is to make this favorite resort
the vaudeville theatre OF the metropolis, where
the performances shall be OF light, airy and fun
provoking character. II Is intended that each
performance shall begin with q short but well
acted comedy, not to exceed an hour In duration.
The first or this series Will be "The Peep 0'Day,'
