Before the coming theatrical season
is far advanced Manager Sutton will
have genuine surprise for Butte in
his new Union theater. When complet-
ed it will be one of the prettest little
play houses in the west Nothing of
the old house will remain except the
roof. The stage, which will be three
or four times as large as the old one
was, has been changed to the east end
of the building, and the main entrance
to the Park street side. The auditorium
will have a big seating capacity, hav
ing been enlarged by extending the
south wall about ten feet, and the floor
will have a sufficient incline from the
stage to make the view from all parts
aof the house perfect There will be a
large gallery and in every other re-
spect it will be a model little house. 1t
is Mr.. Suttons intention to play first
class attractions, as well as popular
priced ones.
