PINE BLUFF IS TO HAVE A NEW OPERA
 HOUSE.
BUSINESS MEN FAVOR IT.
Twill Be a Nice, Up-to-Date Theater in Every Respecr, Says
 Gen. Knox.

Since the big conriagration Satur- #day night which completely destroy led the big frame opera house, winch gOr many years, served as a delight Al past time for the theatre-goers s sof this city, there has been much #interest manifest and many ques- N1ions asked as to whether another .opera house would be erected. For several years past the opera house was under several different mana dement's. Two years ago Mir. Chas. |Senyard took charge. He started out right and continued on the same road. When the season ended he found he had made money by his push and energy and was determin- ed to get further and better results, so he stood the expense of remodel ling the play house When the work was completed tEe interior of the building was very comfortable and presented as pretty an appearance as any theater in the State. One good rule of MT. Senyard was "onIy good shows. By ttat rule, which he strictly enforced, he soon won The confidence of the theater goers of this city. Almost every sho V was greeted by a big audience.
 In conversation with Gen. R. M. Knox shis morring, who was one of the largest stockholders in the burn ed structure, he said to a Graphic reporter:
 T am almost certain Pine Bluff will have a new opera house by the opening Of the next season. It will be a magnificent brick structure modern improvements and fire proof. If We cannot afford to build one that will be a credit to our city,
  we will not build at all. l am will ing to rebuild and l think Messrs. Dewoody, Atkinson and Murray will also signify their willingness by taking shares in the oew structure.
 Tt is paying concern, both to the stockholders and opera house mana ger. Chas. Senyard has rroyen to the public this season that by lit- Ele hustling an opera house can be made . paying investment.
 Even if the former stockholders will not invest in 0 building again, though I am certain they will, may be able to induce some other mon eyed men of the city to take stock in tue new enterprise.
 You can just state that we will have a new opera house and that it will be built of brick and modern in its apportionments.
