THEATERS HERE
EQUAL THE BEST
Grand Opera House Model
of Arrangement and
Interior Elegance

Amarillo is amply provided with
piayhouses. the Grand Opera House
being the finest in the state OF Texas.
with a seating capacity of approx.
mately fifteen hundred, while the
Deand and Majestic are somewhat
less spacious. they are none the less
quite equal to the demands laid up
on them.
The Grand is not alone spacious
and ranking with the more expen-
sive theaters of the state, but Is ele-
gantly fitted and equipped with all
OF the latest coneeits in the theatre
cal line. The chairs are Of new mod
el. the interior decorations are OF the
most artistic character. combining art
with stability. even down to the
mould and adornment OF the boxes
there Is everything in harmony. The
curtains are work of art. not ex-
cepting the big asbestos curtain
tina, practically precludes the posi-
billty OF fire spreading from the
stage TO the auditorium.
That the stage Is spacious and so
arranged that the largest scenery can
be accommodated. Is unquestioned
having been demonstrated over and
over again. The greater number OF
the better shows carry two sets OF
scenery. or a part OF two sets. the
larger or full sized and the smaller,
the latter being for use In playhouses
where the space is limited Amarillo
gets 10 see the full SIZED equipment
by reason OF the magnificent proper
tions of the stage.
Many times the MANAGEMENT Of the
Grand has been complimented by the
larger and better companies, for the
excellent character OF provisions
made for the actors. The dressing
rooms are equipped fully, discount
ing the erstwhile barn-like arrange
ments for the shelter OF the stage
performers while preparing to appear
before the footlights. The heating
OF this understage section is good and
the comfort OF the troops thus assur-
ed in the coolest weather.
u Is probable that no other one
fact has been so largely instrumental
in bringing Amarillo the best attrac-
tions, as has the Grand Opera House.

taken. With this splendid introduce
ton. the people of Amarillo have
many times crowded the theater, wit
Messing some Of the finest produc-
tions making the south.
The upper portion OF the front OF
the building Is used for offices while
the top story serves as a ledge room
for number Of the fraternities. Two
rooms on the ground floor TO the
frontal section of the structure are
in use to the south as offices for the
Amarillo Improvement company AMI
waiting rooms for the Amarillo Trac.

OF Amarillo more than this superb
