The Black theatre circuit architect,

Barre for the past few days furthering
F, plans for the erection in the spring Of
a new theatre on Pearl street. The
old Pavilion building is to be RACED to
the ground, and new structure ca
pable of seating 800 people is TO be
erected in its place, with entrance and
lobby from North Main street by way
of a passage where the DePrato fruit
store was located. This construction
work will begin as early in the spring
as possible, that road shows, vaudeville
and moving pictures can be presented
to Barre people before the winter
months of 1921 The brick building
adjoining the Pavilion viii be remod
elled to some extent, and may, at the
termination OF the tenants leases, be
converted into further theatre prop
erty. This is uncertain, however, and
for quite a long period yet these stores
and tenants will occupy the front struc-
ture Mr. Bolen's visit to Vermont in
cluded a journey to Bethel and North
| field At Bethel building is being re
modelled by this same company, which
will ultimately seat GOO people. Al
Mortified new theatre is being built
to seat 500 people. It is also under
stood that Randolph will soon have
the privilege of q new theatre.
