stood where the General Post Office now
stands. I think it was in 1901 or 1902. The
building, at the time, was. not finished. The

boards. The seats, also were all rough

Il remember how anxious the boys were to
get in and see the play, and what tricks they
resorted to, to accomplish that object. They
went into the cells, or basement story, and by
the aid Of a work bench, hoisted themselves
up to the joist. Then they would remove one
of the" boards Of the temporary floor and by
this means few succeeded in getting in to
see the play. This was known only to a few.
I was one of those in the secret and got in

the hotel at that time were occupied by the
families of laborers."

ingtons March The audience applauded on
the entrance Of the President, but the pit and
gallery were so truly despotic in the arly
days OF the Republic that as soon as Hail
Columbia had ceased 'Washingtons March
was called for by the deafening din of hun
dred voices at once and, upon its being played
three hearty cheers would rock the building to
its base. Indeed five and thirty years ago
there could not be gotten together any large
public assembly without q considerable spice
of the Revolution being among it. The SOL
diers and sailors Of the War OF Liberty
abounded in all public places and no sooner
would their old Chief appear than of came
each hat and the shout of welcome resounded
pure, spontaneous, direct from the hearts"
HERE seems to be some doubt as to the ex-
act date the United States Theater first
opened its doors. Aloysius l. Mudd who has
written entertainingly on the subject, places
the date as probably in June 1900, and this
no doubt is correct, although Christian Hines
who trusted entirely to his memory places the
year 1901 or 1902. However, what this ven-
erable gentleman has to say on the subject in
addition to this is undoubtedly true. He says:
