AN ARTISTIC THEATRE.
The New Gambler Il Really Nran-
tifu1.

Since the opening of the New Theatre
now the Century Opera House. on Gem
trail Park West. New York has seen
dozen new playhouses added to the list
Each one Of these possesses some mover
charm quite its own. The latest of
those Is the new Gambler Theatre. In
its modest. artistic and novel details 1t
ou,c,asses many Of its predecessors.
The auditorium Of the Gambler while
comparativeiy small. makes an impress
sion of vastness quite beyond its actuaI
dimensions. The reason is its architec-
,ural design and the beauty Of its lines
and curves. Tho orchestra floor seats
COS and the balcony 500. There are
four boxes. Which form the two ends
Of the horseshoe. The architecture is
Italian renaissance. The ceiling has
impressive beauty. the box arches are
imposing and cxquisltely draped and
Furnished. The prevailing tone Is mouse
color and orange. Carpets and seats
are in harmonious keeping with the gem
er,l scheme, the latter with tapestry
backs of twelve different designs. giving
an unusual effect to the lower floor. An
altogether new idea in lighting has been
used Instead OF glass, Il metallized ma

toned glare. But II is not So gloomy
