MAJESTIC THEATRE
OPENS MONDAY WEEK
Manager Parry Arrives and Is Getting
Ready for the Opening Night.
New House Is Handsome.

Frank G.. Parry, manager of the new
Majestic theatre, has arrived in town and
is busily engaged in making preparations
for opening his house next Monday week,
September 10. IT wish to Impress on the
people of Birmingham" said Mr.. Parry
yesterday, that we are going to conduct
a strictly first class theatre, catering to
the best people of Birmingham. We shall
appeal especially to women and children,
giving a matinee every day In the week
The entertainment offered will be refined
vaudeville exclusively. I have gathered
about me staff of employees who were
chosen for their courteous bearing as
much as their efficiency in a business
way. With the exception of the treasurer,
all employees will wear uniforms. so that
patrons will have no difficulty In finding
some one to attend to their wants.
Mr.. Parry is said to be fortunate in
having the management of an excep-
tionally handsome theatre. The new Ma
jestic will be a surprise and delight,
no doubt, to tneatregoers of Birmingham
who see 1t on the opening night. The in
terror decorations are elaborate, but in
refined taste, while the arrangement of
the house is such that 1t gives an i'm
preston of comfort and coziness that is
most pleasing. The seating capacity of
the house will be about 1900 and there
will be two balconies above the orchestra
floor.
The Interstate Amusement company,
which controls the Majestic. will book a
strong bill for the opening 1t is said.
