Opera House Improvements.

Since the advent of Proctor Il Soulier
in the City of Wilmington there has
been marked improvements in the play
houses. The last, and greatest is the
Grand Opera House. This house has
been thoroughly remodeled and bright
ened under the supervision of these
live theatrical men. A full description
ofthe various alterations and improve
ments made would require more space
than can be given here, and only true
conception of the Opera House can be
gained by visiting it. Electric lights will
take the place of gas, thus identifying
and harmonizing the whole effect of the
stage settings and auditorium. The
pleasing and important changes made
cannot fail to be appreciated by every
one who will attend the performances
there. Newarkers, who have so liberal
ly patronized this house in the past, will
be very eager to visit it again when the
season opens.
