MAY ENLARGE YARN WILL

Anniston, July 1.-(Special )-According to a statement made by John H. Noble Thursday morning there is a probability that Anniston will have one of the finest theatre buildings in the south next sea- son, the project hinging upon the accept arce of the plans of Architect Oakley of Montgomery, who is expected to ar rive in the city this week with drawings which provide for the renovation of Noble Street theatre so as to make 1t ground floor playhouse.
 It was learned Wednesday afternoon that notice had been served on the tenants in the Mobile block to vacate, but MT. Noble said Thursday morning that this was merely an act of foresight.
 MT. Oakley is said to have had consid- erable experience in drawing plans for theatres, having planned the Grand in Montgomery, the New Schubert in Chat tanooga and a new theatre in Knoxville. His plans for the Anniston theatre, 1t is said, provide for larger building than those in either of the cities named, the proposed 70-foot stage, with 4O-foot proscenium, being two feet larger than the Jefferson in Birmingham. The par quet, dress circle, etc., will be on the ground foor the present parquet being used as the first balcony. The entrances will be wide, 1t Is said, every precaution being made for fire escapes the alleged unsafety of the building 1t now stands having been one of the greatest draw backs to the theatrical interests Of the city, which was once considered one of the best show towns in the country of it's size.
