Why AUDITORIUM
: IS NECESSARY
Reed and Stem Design Mag.
lfiCcnt New Structure for
Bridgeport, Como.

Bridgeport, Connecticut, citizens
~ contemplating the erection of an
auditorium, and it is especially note
worthy that the architects WHO have
been employed are Messrs. Reed and
Stem, of St. Paul, who have been
drawing up the plans and specif1ca-
tons for the Bismarck municipal au-
ditorium. One Of the Bridgeport pa
pers, in commenting on tae project
makes the following remarks, which
are applicable to Bismarck in the
west, just as they are to Bridgeport,
on Long Island sound, The news it
en- in part reads as follows:
Cognizant of Bridgeport's lack of
adequate convention facilities, in 50
far as places OF meeting are con-
cerned, and which they believe is pre-
GLIDING much OF the fame and pro.
gress which should be Bridgeport's,
the members of the Wednesday AT.
ternoon Musical club and the Bridge.
port Art league have affiliated for
the purpose of erecting the Bridge
port Auditorium, an institution which
they plan to make known to the Ell
tire country.
The merchants Of the city would
ret great harvests from the numer-
ou.V conventions and exhibitions
brcight to this city because of it's
suIerior facilities and thence come
dividends from a less obvious but
equity profitable source.
Tie Bridgeport Auditorium will be
contructed after the plains drawn by
Architects Reed and Stem Of ST. Paul,
who designed the far-famed auditor
ium tor that city. A seating capaci-
ty "a 900 as minimum and 5000
as maximum, which is believed to
be necessary for the city, will be pro-
vid.i in the building.
Exhibition facilities are equally as
adv ntageous. At those times the
paruet seating is floored over pro-
vidi 6 rectangular arena surround
ed " boxes and furnishing an ample
circ lating space, secured by a sys-
t. arcades entirely encircling
the Irena boxes. when used for con-
ventons the auditorium will easily
seat 1000. The building Is so arrang-
ed tat it will be possible TO present
predictions of anything from anna:
tteur theatricals up to grand operas.
Automobile shows and state con-
wentsns could be easily accommodate
ed i the new building and there are
man, reasons by which such affairs
wou! benefit Bridgeport. The city is
now known to keen after the Re-
publican state convention at some fu-
ture date, and the auditorium. as
planned, will easily be the greatest
magrst of any that other cities may
offer. With the auditorium Bridge
ports success and supremacy as a
conveution city would be assured.
