CHANGE IN NEW THEATRE
Plans Revised to Remoue Objections

Considerable change has been made IN the OF @
plans of the New Theatre, and Carrere d faas'

had removed the causes for the objections TO the
first drawings The most important change Is III
the size of the balcony and the gallery by
device called a drop WALL the architects haVe
succeeded in reducing the capacity OF the theatre

least fourteen hundred will be divided between the
balcony and gallery The drop Wall Is SO
devised TO give the Illusion ol i4'i A

The ..drop WALL is to be steel shutter that VIII

view the six in the rear of that section OF the
theatre For instance, when a serious play ls 10
he presented and 1t is foresons conclusion that
the theatre will not lie taxed TO It's maximum
capacity, the wall will be dropped. For OPERA
,nueicaI comedy and other performances that are
1,l.a ~ 3raw full houses the entire theatre VIII

will not be any larger than the oraihary piaS
house There will be nineteen rows on the lower
floor two more than are in the Empire Theatre.
The side pieces in the gallery Will be abolished.
according 10 the revised plans
Work on the construction of the building Is going
randIv ahead. The outside walls are now at q
height of eighteen feet, and the iron framework Is
gradually assuming shape
I'm sure we have removed all the oooec-
ttons that were found in the original design Of
tho structure said Mr. Hastings yesterday. The
shutter of course was made necessary by reason
of the fact that il will be impossible to I'LL the
theatre every night. There VIII be performances
