TWO PLAY HOUSES
Mr.. F.F. Finch Says He In
tends to Build a Theatre
THAT WILL COST $40, 900.
Other Parties Negotiating for IL Site on
which to Erect an Opera House.
All Said TO Mean
business.

From present Indications it looks as
11f Newport News viii have two opera
houses.
1t Was rumored around the city yes
terday that Mr.. f. F. Finch iuEteldeu
TO build a theater on this property at
the conner of Thirtieth street and
Washington avenue.
Some days ago the work of eXcu,-
waiting this cor,nar land was commenced
and there We're all sorts OF SpecuaitiUllss
AIS TO what MIR. inch proposed to put up
on the site.
IA Daily Press reporter interviewed Mn
Finch last night and from him learned
that together With several northern
capitalists he intended to build play
house cN the CORNER property that would
cost between forty and fifty Thousand
dollars. Mr.. Finch says the plans are
now being made and that the building
Will be completed by next October
Mr.. Firch further stated that he was
in communication With Mr.. Thomas G..
LeIth. of Richmond and he had asked
THAT gentleman TO take the mana cement
of the house.
The house will be built ST the most
modern plans and will have q seating
capacity of about twelve or fourteen
hundred.
From Mr. FInal1's account there is no
doubling The fact that he ne!ans bust
hess and Will surely give Newport News
an up -dc,te 1hea'tre.
This Information will occasion some
interest lin View of I:he fact that Judge
Sims, of Louisa county, has announced
hits intention of putting up "a barge thea,
ere ON the Low property between the
CiluizeEts and Marine and Fi1st NATIONAL
banks. in case the deal fer the land cam
be closed. 1t has been stated on good
authority THAT Judge Sims Will c%s'tain-
ly erect a play house i'm tlhrs city. A gen.
tleman who is Thought TO be Well posted
IN regard 10 Judge Sims plans Said last
mi CHIT that he understood that thu thea
tire would be erected and THAT ut would
be built as was reported. This means
that an erghty Thousand dollar house
may bt. constructed i'm this city by
Judge Sims and q forty Thousand dollar
STRUCTURE by Mr. Finch. Both PARTIES
seem to bein earnest.
