The fron t and foyer of the new theater

in the country.  Tite color scheme is at-

ilols are replete with all the modern con-
vsnbiences, including hot and cold running
w, ater in --ery room, and a systeni of ven-
tilating that insures fresh and pure air.
This iten of dressing roois is certain to
prove a great factor in the securing of
meritorious acts, and beside the dressing
rools there is a large green room, which
is tstially an obsolete title in the ordinary
theater.
The scenery is all the work of Eugene
Cox, te selt knoxvii scenic artist, vhose
ictirI  is liisyas bcith dtincttis-s and ar-
listic, and the settings ie has designed
for the Orphuna add to his reputation.
The seating capacity of tihe theater is 800,
and the general contractors were the Mark

Six Performances a Day.
The iolicy of the house will be six per-
forniances a day, comnencing at 11 o'clock

There will be two shifts of performers, each
set giving three ptonnances daily, and
