EVANSVILLE, Ind., Oct. 26.-During the past week Edward Raymond laid the first brick for the new Majestic which is to be completed by Christmas day. While laying the brick an old gray- haired man stood by and told how he had helped build the old mill which some five years ago had been changed into a theater. The old gentleman said: "The old canal ran by this place in the early fifties, when 1 helped build the mill, and now it is in the center of the city, and I had the pleasure of seeing Mr. Raymond lay the first brick for his new undertaking."-OBERDORFER. NEW ORLEANS, La., Oct. 25.-Man- ager Henry Greenwall and Walter S. Baldwin, of the Dauphine theater, closed its doors Saturday night and this ends the short season of stock of the Dau- phine Stock company. "Everything possible has been done for this theater and we have given the theater-goers the best company and plays the market affords, but it is my opinion that New Orleans does not want stock," remarked Henry Greenwall. "Not even at popu- lar prices. Never in the history of the- atricals has such a company and such productions been given the public at such ridiculously low prices. I can't figure it out except as I said before that New Orleans is tired of stock. "The Octoroon" is a play that should draw well and we have spared no expense on the production or cheapened it in any way. We gave the patrons the same elaborate production this week that they had during the season." Walter Baldwin talked on the same lines and said it was very dishearten- ing to work as they had done this sea- son at the Dauphine and then get such small recognition from the public. "Every member of my company has come to love New Orleans and it was quite a disappointment to them to have to close so early," said Mr. Baldwin.- KOEPKE. Suit Aganst a Zoo.
