THE STANDARD THEATEg.
A Very Brilliant Opening Last Evening.

Very Brilliant Opening Last Evening.
1t was Il gala night at the Standard
theater yesterday The immense
tWsnty-story marble building looked
its best in the bright glare Of the won
derful magnesium lights, which show
off the beautiful frescOing and fine
stuccO work to best advantage. 1t
will be remembered that Captain Geo.
Lavel, very liberal and munifcent
citizen, who lived q century ago, do
mated large sum of money, sufficient
to build the elegant temple of the
muses.. which was to be free to every
citizen. but no provision had been
made to pay the running expenses
Hence the city council OF those days
left the Investment Of the fund to
counciimen Welch, Bergman and Fox,
who were known century ago as the
investigating committee of the First
Street Livery Stable These public
spirited citizens safely invested the
fund for a hundred years, and now
the compound interest is more than
sufficient to pay for a first-class stock
company in the hands OF an expert
enced management, and for occasional
stars besides. In fact, every visitor to
the upper galleries is paid Il quarter
of dollar each night for looking on.
The curtain is a masterpiece of deco
rative art. 1t is 80 feet in height and
200 feet wide, the center being nearly
filled out by a ife-size portrait of the
donor as he appeared a century ago,
in evening attire. When the curtain
rose the audience was treated to
rare surprise, for there were three
stages, one on top Of the other, and
the opening play, Shakespeare Ham
let,' was played in English, German
and scandinavian simultaneously.
The seats are so ingeniously arranged
that the galleries for German and
Scandinavian visitors are right oppO-
site their respective stages. The
mammoth orchestra of LOCO trained
musicians is for the whole house, but
any confusion likely to arise from the
mingling Of the different languages
has been happily ayerted by transpar-
ent nOn-conduCting material, known
as the patent sound -cuntining gauge.
which is stretched across the audito-
rium at proper distances. Thus the
German enjoys his Hamlet, or what
ever is played on his particular stage,
without being troubled by the En-
giish or Scandinavian version of it.
The building also contains large art
museum, drawing academy and
musical cOnservatorium all free to
the Dublic.
