The new stage which is in process
of building at the south end of Academy
hall, to which we referred last week, is
about eighteen feet deep and thirty feet
wide. On each end of the stage is
a dressing-room, the partitions being
put up in such way that they can be
removed at will. The front ofthe stage
is black ash, to correspondence the fin
ish of the building. The old stage will
be allowed to remain and will be used
for box seats when so wanted. The
expense of building the new stage will
be mostly met by subscriptions already
raised. The stage will be completed in
time for the rehearsal of the opera on
Saturday evening.
