big the building looks from without. inside
the sense Of size is enhanced hundredfold-
The auditorium seems colossal. 1t does seat
over 5000 people. and it looks it. The galleries
sweep back, row on row. into dimness- How
ever, the acoustics seem wonderfully good and
the general reds and colds Of the color scheme
rob the interior Of the chiliness such size usual
ly breeds. The decorations are not ornate, not
overdone. On the whole, the general effect OF
the interior is both spacious and pleasing.
The boxes are ranged either side Of the
huge prosceniun arch. as in a theatre, and along
the front Of the first balcony. The first three
choices for boxes went at ever $500 each. John
w. Gates was a buyer. Box after box went for
sums ranging between 500 and $500, Senator
Depew purchasing two while the crowd APP
piauded An ordinary theatre would be lucky
to make in a week or two what was taken in
for boxes alone yesterday. No seats were sold.
It was noticed that the balcony and gallery
must seat together -fourths of the audience.
There were many theatrical managers present
who took particular interest in this fact. AS the
gallery and balcony seats are to be sold at
low figure, they feel that the theatrical balcony
patronage which has been shrinking for several
seasons will fade away to the vanishing point
now at least for time. They see in the Hip
