1t would have been rebuilt this year ex-
cept that it is necessary to secure the ap-
prevail by the legislature of the city's grant |
Of the sidewalks adjoining the theater for
the enlargement of the building ana the |
erection OF new walls. The matter is now
before the CITY council, and as soon as the |
grant has been made by the city bill will |
be introduced in the legislature confirming |
1t.
Manager Johnson has had several con-
ferences with leading architects, and plans |
are now being prepared for the new build |
ing, for it will be practically new. The !
cost Of the improvements will be between |
$4,000 and 500, 900. The seating capacity !
Of the building will he increased, the stage |
will be enlarged. q spacious lobby will |
be added, and the balcony and i
galleries remodeled. The latest improve
ments in stage machinery wilt be added |
with new scenery. Manager johnson says
when the building is completed, if the city |
grants the use of the sidewalks for its en-
largement, Savannah will have the best
theater in the south.
