A MODEL LITTLE THEATRE.

The remOdeling of Amusement
Theatre, which has been underway
tor some weeks, is nearing comple-
tion. The transformation is not only
artistic in effect, but convenience
and comfort were taken well into ac-
count. On entering its doors the
first thing that attracts ones atten-
tiOn is beautiful drop curtain To
the stage, or II this be raised, a de.
lightful array of bright stage scenery;
and as the eyes are lowered the
rows Of opera chairs, 300 of them, of
5.ply veneer in rich mahogony shade,
Invite you to be seated and make
yourself comfortable. The distance
from floor to ceiling near the stage
is about % feet, with ventilating
windows high up on the sides. 1t is
the intention to to put in metal
ceiling with ventilators also in It.
Passing on to the stage and turning
around one sees the balcony, which
extends wei over the auditorium
from the front, with seats raised in
tiers to seat about 22j persons, max
ing the seating capacity OF this cozy
little theatre about 600, The side
walls are calsomined, and the man
agement intends to relieve the
baroness of the walls with appro-
pirate pictures. A coy little recep-
tion or waiting room has been ar.
ranged in front of the theatre to the
right Of the box office, and altogeth-
er the Amusement is II model play
