The new Majestic theater, the home
Of refined vaudeville, was thrown open
to the public last night. The poole
of Gary could not have shown their
any more fully than by
the gratifying attendance and gener-
Gus applause, which they gave every
feature of the performance. The event
last night marked the Inauguration of
higher class of amusements in the
city, of a permanent character.
The bill for the opening performance
was unusually good for a city the size
of Gary According to the management,
however, 1t was not superior to the
bills which will be given in the future
and at the same price. Every one of
the tire acts staged were high class
in every respect, and is on a par with
those which are seen in the best vaude-
VILE houses in the country.
The house was filled at both per-
formances. 1t is estimated that no less
than 1900 persons witnessed the open
ing of the theater those coming to the
second performance being forced to
travel through the slush and snow.
Many people came from TOleston, Miller
and nearby cities, to be on hand at the
first performance. Probably the most
CONSPICUOUS of the outside visitors last
night was Otto Borman. of ToIleston
