REMODEL
The GARY
THEATRE
Present Playhouse Will
Practically Be Recon
structed to Accommodate
the Big Companies Work
Begins Next Monday.

Gary is to have practically a new
theater
e. H. Norris. owner of the Gary the
alter. decided today. that owing to the
present cramped condition of the stage
of the playhouse to remodel the theater
in general.
Since the opening of the Gary thea
ter, several weeks ago, the manage
ment has tried only to secure the best
attractions for the theater-goers of
Gary. This he found was impossible
to do on account of the small stage of
the theater 1t was only yesterdaythat
he had to concel the engagement with
the Devil" company, which was billed
to appear on next Sunday night, on
account of the company not being able
to use its special scenery and stage
settings. Other star attractions that
he had booked for future engagements
likewise Cancelled their dates when they
found the conditions of the stage were
entirely inadequate.
Work Begins Monday.
On next Monday the work will be
commenced in remodeling the theater.
The stage. which now is 80 feet deep.
80 feet long and 10 feet high. will be
enlarged ten feet each way and a top
will be erected on the stage which will
be forty feet in height and will enable
! all the big scenes TO be raised into the
tower whenever they are to be changed
for any special scenery to be utilized
on the stage and big companies will
have no trouble in staging their pro-
auctions. The stage will also be low
cred and an orchestra pit will be con
structed so as to give the entire au-
dience full command OF the stage
Besides the rearranging of the stage
! the entire front part of the theater will
be changed. What was once the Gary
buffet will be converted into ladies
waiting rooms and smoking room for
| the men patrons of the theater The
manager will also put in a confec-
tionary and cigar store and soda foun-
tain, and will do all in his power to
| make the theater as attractive as pos
sible to the theater- goers
Was Intended As Vaudeville House.
1t was the intention when the Gary
theater was erected TO use the place
for vaudeville purposes alone. Since
that time many OF the saloons have
gone out of business in that district
it was thought advisable to change
| the program and run regular plays
Of course it is known that the theatei
is situated out of the business dis
trict and was for time in an objec-
tionable locality. Since that time many
Of the saloons are now closed and 9th
ers will be out of business in a short
time
Jefferson street will soon be lighted
from one end to the other and the pat.
rons of the theater can attend the
shows with as much safety as in any
other part of Gary A big electric
flasher will be placed on the roof O.

1t is thought that the work will b,
completed in about two weeks and tn,

Progressive Initials.

This scheme is not entirely new, but
it is always interesting and has the
advantage Ct being easily arranged.
Say there are to be 20 guests, that
means five tables. Label the first
Cities" the second Famous Ameri-
cans" the third Rivers" the fourth
Flowers" and the fifth may be Hero
ines" In the center Of each table
place about 20 assorted letters, face
down. The guests are given score
cards on which in fancy lettering are
the subjects of the different tables.
After all are seated the bell rings
and the game commences. One player
turns letter so that all may see 1t.
The first person who thinks OF city
beginning with that letter and says 1t
keeps the letter. For example. II
''B" is turned some one says Boston"
and takes the letter. When all the
cities are gone the bell rings. The

dowdy, the next thing to do is to stop
being dowdy.
II you are married. stop 1t because
your husband doesn't like it.
If you are single. stop it because
the young men Of your acquaintance
don't like it.
l can't tell the difference between
a bolerO and polonaise; l am not an
expert in feminine sartorial terminolo-
gy, but l can tell a dowdy woman a
block of and SO can every other
American man.
1t is just as much an affront to
your family to be dowdy as it is to
serve uninteresting dinners. Let your
food be plain if need be, but let it be
something that attracts the attention
Of the tongue and causes it to tele-
graph pleasant news to the stomach.
So though your clothes be plain
and inexpensive, make them interest
ing. II you have been married for
some time and have always been dow.
dy, you will be surprised to see how
the change in your get-up will affect
your husband. He will begin to take
notice and will tell you you're growing
young again.
Get together in this, oh women. and
the dowdy will become as extinct as
the dodO.

For Choosing Partners.

The question of pairing partners for
even a dinner party may be made q
pretty ceremony by this method: Have
two baskets of flowers in the drawing
room, with numbered tickets on the
stem of each blossom. The men are
told to draw from the basket having,
say. pink carnations in It. and the
ladies take theirs from the rose bas-
ket. When numbers are duplicated
partners are found and all proceed to
the dining room.
This relieves the hostess of the re-
spOnsibility for ones vis-a-yis. and II
her party has only congenial people 1t
will probably result in pleasant
evening for all.
