THE CASINO WILL OPEN TONIGHT.
"The Earl and the Girl" Musical Comedy,
the First Attraction.

The Casino will open tonight with Fl new musical
comedy called The Earl and the Girl the
attraction. Since fire gutted this famous play
house last February 1t has been entirely made
inside ground floor theatre with the entrance
on Broadway 1t has, however, the former exits
in Ssth-st. for emergency purposes. The dropping
of the auditorium to the street level has added
gallery to the seating capacity of the house and
increased it's height, and consequently improved its
ventilation.
The new interior. which still preserves the Moor
STYLE is done in gold. relieved by red and Moor
ish green here and there. A private view last night
disclosed this interior very bright and at
tractive, without tawdriness, and quite different
from any other theatre in town.
A prominent feature Of the decoration is a
massive panel In high relief the proscenium
arch done by V. Alfano. showing scene from
'"rhe Arabian Nights.
The Earl and the Girl" is by Seymour Hicks
and Percy Greenback, with music by Ivan Caryll
and others.
