A NEW OPERA-HOUSE.
Site Secured, and the Building
Will Go Up at Once.
BEST IN THE GREAT NORTHWEST.
Tho Auditorium VIII stand ct the Cor.
.ncr Of Cherry and Third Streets. and
BE Opened In september.

The Seattle Grand Opera-House Com
panys yesterday completed the negotia-
tons with Judge J. r. Lewis, which gives
1t control Of the site 30 long desired, and
the result will be the immediate erection
OF an opera-house worthy of Seattle.
The lease, which was signed. sealed and
delivered yesterday. includes the privilege
OF purchase at an agreed price, and Sc
cures to the company the lot on the north
east corner of Third and Cherry streets,
now occupied by Judge Lewis residence,
composing one-quarter of the entire
block. The residence will be removed
and work upon the excavations begun at
once. 1t is possible that the cooperation
OF Mr. 0. G. Shorey, who owns the lots
adjoining on the north, will be secured,
and the building continued through to
Columbia street, uniform in heighth and
style OF architecture. Mr. Shorey is now
considering such an arrangement.
The plans adopted for the new building
are modification of the Chicago Audi
forum plans, and the structure will re-
semble that grand building in many inn
portant features. The opera-house proper
will be three stories high. and have seat
ing capacity of 1.400. The stage win be
large and fitted with all modern improve
ments, with spacious dressing-rooms adj
joining. There will be twelve proscenium
and dress boxes in the auditorium, and the
general appearance of the whole interior
will be most attractive. In addition to
the opera-house the building will contain
hotel, five stories high, planned with
every attention to the requirements of
first-class hostelry. This part of the
building, however, will not be hurried to
completion as rapidly as the opera-house.
The location is central one, of easy
access by nearly all the street car lines,
and the site is in every way adapted to
the purpose for which it has been chosen.
The grand front of tho building will be on
Cherry street and the entrance at the
corner.
The officers of the Seattle Grand Opera
house Company are as follows: President,
Hon. Eugene Semple; vice president, b. +.
Shaubut; treasurer, L. d. Ross; secretary,
j. w. Hanna. The company has made ar
rangements through Mr.. L. III. Griffith for
the money required to push the enterprise
through without delay, and the work viii
be pushed.
J. w. Hanna, manager of the Turner
Hall opera-house. who has been instru-
mental in securing successful termina-
ton of the negotiations for the site, and in
fact the principal originator of the enter
prise, said last evening that it was expected
TO have the new opera-house completed
and ready for opening in September next.
It is potable that the new amusement
temple will be called the Auditorium, to
distinguish it from the old opera-house.
When complete it will be one of the finest
opera-houses on the Coast. 1t will be I'M
der the management OF Mr.. Hanna, who
has shown during his stay in Seattle that
he is thoroughly capable Of conducting a
first-class theater.
