Old rsilroaders laugh when they read
the stories. and. like the person who al
ways reads such yarns in the magazines
and newspapers, know without going
through all the details that the engineer,
conductor. fireman or brakeman, whichever
he might be, would save the lives OF all
the passengers or do something else in the

NEW HOME FOR ORPHEUM
Samuel Newhouse TO Erect Another
Skyscraper on state street
To Contain Thcater.

Besides the new Mining Exchange
on Exchange place, Samuel Newhouse
is planning to make the sky scraper
district SIN further the civic center
by erecting there 100000 theater, to
house the Orpheum circuit,
The Newhouse theater plans have
been drawn by Ware & Treganza, and
have been under discussion for some
time, Mr.. Newhouse's interest in the
matter being to bring activity to that
part of town. rather than to make
money from the theater directly.
The theater win be located on State
street with ground floor SO feet by
1852 feet, with entrances leading to 1t
both from Exchange Place and State
street. The design will be italian
renaissance. the height seven stories,
and the construction of the most APP
proven fire proof nature. After the
theater has been perfected with every
modern convenience, the remaining
space will be figured on for its utility,
possibly as n hotel or for Office pur-
poses.
The suggestion that he build a thea
ter for the Orpheum circuit was orig
inally made to Mr.. Newhouse by How
ard Garrett of the Orpheum, and was
afterwards followed up by Martin
Beck, controller of the circuit furnish
ing the local house with attractions
With the completion of the Auerbach
theater on Third South, this will give
Salt Lake six theaters, while that
many years ago the Salt Lake and the
Grand were thought to crowd the
town.
