Joel Hurt announced Friday ihomlng
that the new theater would not be
erected on the triangle, bounded by
Edgewood-ave. and Exchange place, a*
he at flrst proposed, but that its main
entrance would be leas than 400 feet
from Peachtrep-it.
B. D. Stevens, acting for Klaw A Er-
langer. agreed on any one of three lota
owned by Mr. Hurt, the triangle, the
Alrdome alt* on Edgewood-ave. or the
property on Exchango place. Juat east
of Pryor-*t. and now occupied by sev
eral stable-.
In speaking of the theater Mr. Hurt
said:
"I am going to build a theater not
only for today, but for th* future. The
people of Atlanta want only the very
beat, and I know they '211 support It.
‘T can not state th* coat of the build
Ing. but will say that no expense will be
spared In making the house absolutely
fire-proof and modern throughout Its
entire construction. In some respects It
will be modeled after the New Amster
dam theater In New York, taking the
moat advantageous features of that
theater and making what we now con
alder Improvement*.
”1 will subordinate everything for th*
theater, but In connection with th#
structure will probably utilise a portion
of the ground for an office building.
“It has been my dealre for the last
ten year* to build a modem theater,
and consequently I have made a atudy
of theater construction. Now that I
have made arrangements with a con
eem that Is satisfactory to me, I am
going to carry out my plans.
“I have several seta of plana already
drawn, but previously I did not Intend
to build a strictly flre-proof structure,
consequently the plans will have to be
altered.
"Next to being fireproof, one of the
main features of the construction will
be comfort and a stage that will ac
commodate the largest attractions
produced In New York.
Big Stags Plannati.
"The proscenium opening will be 22
feel wide and 10 feet high and the
stage will run back a depth of 45 feet
which In reality Is much more than la
necessary, but the occasion might arise
when the few extra feet could ba
utilised to advantage. »
’ "The dressing rooms will also be a
feature. They will be large, well ven
tilated and every poselble convenience
provided for the etage folk.
"I think that I will build but two
boxee on each side, and they will be eo
constructed as not to obstruct any of
th# seats. They will be sufficiently
high from the floor to permit on* to
walk beneath them. The balance of
the side wall space will he artistically
decorated, because I do not think per
sons like to sit tn upper boxes, and
ley really disfigure the appearance of
le house.
•The entire seating capacity will be
1.700, with 700 In the main auditorium,
the remainder In the balcony and gal
lery.
"There will be a large turning place
In front of the theater for vehicles
This will not only be a convenience for
those who drive, but will Insure safety
to pedestrians.
"As soon as the property selected la
vacated and building plans completed
the work of construction will be com
menced."
Mr. Hurt also stated that In thf
event the property fronting on Ex
change place wa* selected, an entrance
would be built thru from Decatur-st..
thereby offering every convenience to
patrons, the Edgewood-ave. cars on
one side. Decatur-st. cars on th* qther
