ADJUSTMENTS.

though out Of sight, the stage has not been
out of mind. Mr.. McRlfatrick, the grea.
st. Louis theatrical architect, has been here
and exhibited plans for the
Grand Central Music hall, which
is to almost entirely swallow up the old
| Opera house in about year from this time.
The drawings of Mr.. McElfatrick foreshadow
a very symmetrical and lovely theater-sll
published botches Of the diagram fend to the
portion of the front wall of the old
theater will be used in the construc-
tion of the new one. The expansion
| will be on larger scale, and the transforma-
tion will be most complete. Instead OF
climbing into the parquette, the audience will
walk in at a level with the street and down a
| gentle incline after entering. The stage OF
the new building will be in a position
diametrically opposite from that occupied by
| the old one. But the old Opera house has seen
| good service and will end its existence in a
blaze of glory, for the creme de IL creme
| of the dramatic profession will make its
walls resound and (metaphorically) raise the
roof, at short intervals, during the coming
winter.
