BENTLEY GRAND OPERA HOUSE.

Mr.. Bentley, to whose public
spirit the community was SO
largely indebted for the building
then being opened. Mr.. Bent
lev stated that his heart was too
full to give proper utterance to
his feelings, but that he felt
deeply grateful for the kind
words that had been said about
him, that the opera house was a
Milbank institution and that at
all times he wanted the people of
the city to consider that they had
claim upon it for any legitimate
purpose. Ol behalf of himself
and family he desired to thank
the citizens of Milbank who had
SO literally contributed to the
financial part of the enterprise,
and the audience for so large an
attendance on such a disagree
able night and the various indi
viduals who had assisted in max
ing the opening night the pleas
ing success it proved to be. Mr..
Bentley's remarks we're greeted
with hearty applause. The dra
matte performance that followed
was the we'll known play of Da-
mon and Pythias, with Sanford
Dodge as Damon, and it was pre-
sented in a first class manner
Mr.. Dodge is an actor Of more
than ordinary ability and he has
a strong company to support
him. Owing to the preliminary
program the evenings entertain
ment was not concluded until af
ter midnight, but the universal
verdict was that this new public
building of which both Mr.. Bent
ley and the city might we'll feel
proud, had been opened under
very auspicious circumstances.

THE BUILDING

Is 5Oxl0O feet in size, facing
on Main street just south of the
st. Hubert hotel, and is construct
ed of brick with granite trim
mings, presenting a very attrac
tive exterior. The designers
and builders we're John Carlson
& Co., whose workmanship is ia
evidence in so many other sub
stantial buildings in this city
and in neighboring towns
and the structure bears the
marks of completeness and me-
chanical thoroughness, tor
which this firm is noted. A
broad stair way leads to the box
office at the upper entrance, and
on the north side is smoking
room for gentlemen and on the
south q cloak room for ladies.
The auditorium has q seating
capacity of about seven hundred,
divided into orchestra, dress cir

at all points. The stage is 50x36
feet in size, provided with ten
sets of scenery, and eight dress
ing rooms, and with all the lat
est appliances for securing the
best light effects. The drop
curtain is a view of the city of
Naples with Mt. Vesuvius in the
distance and has very pretty
effect. The whole interior is
very beautifully frescoed and
decorated, and the plum bing,

ing is planned on the latest and
most approved methods for sani.
tary results. The little sou venir
distributed on the night of open.
ing describes the fresco work as
follows:
! The beauty OF the mural decor ations
of the auditorium of the Bentley
Grand is a very pleasant feature.
While any attempt at flOridness has
been avoided, there is sufficient of
contrast in color and light and shade
effects to secure a general effect of
CneofIul00SS.
The general color scheme is dark
olive green, restful to the eve, divided
into panels by columns and borders
OF gilt rnamentation IN renaissance
style. For the ceiling, cloud tints are
used with decorations OF floral gar
lands.
The prominent points Of the fresco-
| ing designs consist of a repro.
duction of the celebrated painting of
'Ihe Awakening of Love-" immedi-
ately above the prOsenium arch, and
emblematic represe nations Of tray
edy, comedy, musica art introduced
into the frescoing above the boxes on
either side OF the stage. These are
paintings of striking and appropriate
char ac:er, upon which the artist has
lavished his best efforts with much
success.
The draperies of the balcony front,
orchestra pit and about the boxes and
their exits are of a French silk velour,
a deep crimson in color. The decora-
tiOn OF the opera house has been done
entirely by Stahlberg & Dates Co. of
Minneapolis, who make specially of
frescoing and decorations of theatres
and auditOriums.
The cost of building and fur
nishing of the opera house will
approximate $50, 900 and, its con-
struction is certainly q public en-
terprise that Milbank people
may we'll feel proud of.
To complete the opening exer.
cises on Tuesday u grand ball
was given in the new opera
house, at which time there was
a large attendance Of dancers
and q very enjoyable time was
had.
