public Will enjoy the luxury OF new sensation AS
already published. 1t occupies the site Of the Old
Bowery Theatre, but beyond the four walls not

of that famous landmark. The present proprietor
and manager only secured possession Of the premises
on the 18th of July, but promptly putting an army
OF laborers and artists at work. without blowing OF
trumpets, he proceeded with true German energy
straight to the object which he had in view-to wit.
the entire Transformation Of the interior OF the
house. This great undertaking has been accom-
plished and the verdict of the visitor will be that the
Bowery may now boast Of one OF the handsomest
theatres in New York. Indeed it seems almost pity
that so elegant a place could not have been more
favorably located up town. The changes made are
radical in every respect The exterior has been
painted and redecorated and is ornament to the
locality The interior is like parlor and while APP
parentiy reduced in size will still accommodate
seated audience of $500 people. The pit has

painted and the scenery is from Alpha to Omega.

In that has not been surpassed, if 1T has

engagements have been made with some of the most
distinguished os German actors and actresses. The
first of these to appear will be Mme Irschick Coun-

playing in san Francisco. The opening play an
nounced is "Kabale und dLebe'-"Intrigue and Love-"
The entr'acte music for the occasion has been spe
cially composed by Mr. Frederick Brandeis. Such an
important theatrical enterprise has naturally
aroused widespread interest among all classes OF
our German citizens, aud there is little reason to
doubt that from the beginning 1t will be attended
