There are to he no obsolete features carried over In any department or detail of the house now building, and nothing will be missing that would conduce to the comfort nnd enjoyment of the patrons of the place. Everything has been thought of and considered, the result being that the newest Ideas and conveniences obtain ing In the playhouses In the large cit ies of the Hast nnd West have been In corporated In the plans for the new theatre here Mr. W.
