rHE THEATER AND THE CIRCUS,

The ring occupied the place of the present
stage, the periphery of the circle reaching
pointiabout where the orchestra rail now
stands On either side the scenery was ar
ranged to draw back, SO as to be concealed
by the proscsnium boxes, while the flies and
drop-curtain were taken well aloft. AT the
conclusion of tho circus performance the
stage, which was built in sections, could be
placed in position over the ring in eight min
utes, the scenery run on in its grooves, the
curtain lowered and the house thus trans
formed into theater. The builders and filters
of the structure were Tuthill & Mccormick.
The opening night WAS Monday, August 11tb,

is found in the change now taking place in
THE OLD METROPOLITAN THEATER.
1t is dismantled by its present proprietor,
and is being rebuilt. About all theaters there
dwells an interest that makes nearly all rem
iniscences concerning them attractive. The
theatrical circle is world within itself.
About it, and the people who live within it,
there always has been e peculiar interest
A mystical line separates them from the rest
Of the world, and all mankind look upon the

Sacramento, and especially the Metropolitan,
which is the only remaining representative of
all the "stages" upon which players have
strutted their brief hour in this city.

Metropolitan now stands, and was so by so
