LYRIC TO OPEN
ON LABOR DAY
-
New Gallery Has Been Installed
in Market Street House
During Summer.

- HE Lyric Theatre will reopen its
doors with a matinee on Labor
Day, September 6, with the same
high-class attractions as the American
Music Hall in New York. During the
summer extensive alterations, costing
upwards of $50, 1000, have been made.
Principal among them is a new gal
lery, the installation of which is aid
to be one of the cleverest engineering
feats ever accomplished in Newark.
There are absolutely no posts or OBJ
structions of any kind in the new gal
lery, which is of cantilever construc-
tion and suspended from two immense
steel columns erected on the outside of
the auditorium. Every inch of the gal
lery, like the rest of the house, is steel
and concrete construction and is fire
proof as far as ingenuity can make it.
There are nine emergency exits. Spe-
cial attention has been given to the
problem of ventilation.
All the seats are numbered, and being
individual seats, the usual crowding
and crushing will be eliminated. The
new addition will seat about 400. Popu-
lar prices will prevail. A new entrance
has been constructed in Beaver street.
The attractions will be booked by
William Morris Qnc.). Some of the
better known vaudevillians who will
appear during the season are SEVERN,
the French pantomimist; Julian Ell
tinge, in his remarkable feminine char
acterizations; Cecilia LOTUS, comedi-
enne and mimic; Villa Holt Wakefield,
entertainer to New .York's 400"

ago under the McCaull regime are re-
vived in the announcement of the pres

McCaull repertory for many years and
many famous artists appeared n won
favor in its principal roles, including
DeWolf Hopper. Digby Bell, Frank
Daniels, Laura Joyce, Madame Cotrely
and w. T. Carleton. The character of
General Ollendorf in this opera was
one of the earliest vehicles in which
Hopper met with pronounced success,
and had much to do with his subse-
quent graduation to stardom, While
Daniels made his first big hit as En-
terich, the jailer, in which part he at
tracted the attention of Charles H.
Hoyt, who afterward starred the little
comedian in a number of the earlier
Hoyt farce-comedy successes.
These two roles will be assuemed in
the Aborn presentation by Robert Lett,
who has been particularly successful
in Hopper's former parts, and Phil
Rranson. who has won favor in other
cities as the jailer. Other artists sched-
uled for the prominent roles are
Blanche Morrison, for the prima donna
part of Laura; FRITZ Won Busing, for
the romping Bronislava; Harry Luck
stone, to be heard in the baritone role
of Symon, the beggar student; John r.
Phillips, in the tenor assignment of
Janitzky, and Lillian Lipyeat, as Lieu
tenant Poppenberg. THE Beggar Stu
dent has not been given here for three
years.
