LOTHR0P'S WORCESTER THEATRE.
DIR. Lothr0p has taken lease of the new
theatre on Pleasant street, Worcester, for
ten years. The seating capacity of the
house is $780, One of the incidental attrac-
lions Of the theatre will be spacious sort
of curio, and here 1t is the lessee's inten-
tion to have everything that lady would
like to see that is curious in the world of ma
ture and of art. If. for example, there is
horse with tail ten yards long, Mr.. Lothrop
will put the animal in his curio hall for the
ladies to look at. Nothing however that is
repulsive and Objectionable will find place
there-nothing that will offend the eye. The
Telegram says: "The theatre itself will be
conducted on the stock company principle;
that is to say the performers. instead of be-
ing brought from the four winds of heaven
will be stationary in Worcester. They will
always be playing together, and will, in this
way, reach degree Of perfection of which
the Daley combination is a brilliant example
Mr.. Lothrop already has three stock compa-
nies-in Providence, Portland, Me-, and at
the Grand Museum In Boston. Worcester
will make the fourth. Each company will
change round, so that there will never be
any lack of novelty at the house on Pleasant
street. No leg shows will be allowed, and If
plays are produced in which the women
must wear tights, black or blue ones will be
worn so as to avoid fieshly appearance.
