Mr. E. D. Wolffe is building the thea tre. This statement, made in the New York Dramatic Mirror of Saturday last, was confirmed by Neff and Thompson yesterday, who modestly expressed pleasure at having been se lected for the'work. They readily told the general details of the new theatre which they say shall in all respects be a modern, convenient and comfort able playhouse. The entrance, or foyer of the new Colonial theatre, will be through an old building, the City hotel, dating back to revolutionary days and in a fine state of preservation. The archi tects were entnusiastic over this old house, especially "the interior, which is a perfect specimen of colonial fin ish and decoration. All these will be faithfully preserved in the foyer. The theatre adjoins this old hotel, in which are laid scenes in the play of Richard Carvel, which was written from the popular book of the same ti tle by Winston Churchill. Tne stage of'the Colonial will lie 34 feet deep and 4(i feet wide, including fiy galleries, and the proscenium op ening will be 8 eer by 28 feet. *aere will be six private boxes, three on each side of the stage, seating six each. The orchestra will have 584 seals, the orcliest ra VircTe 194,'the bal cony J 94 and gallery 306, the total ca pacity, including the boxes, being 914. The foyer will be 54 feet by 12 feet and will include an old colonial stair way in all its original details. This property was purchased by a company from the Gorman estate, said Mr. E. D. Wolffe, of Whitmire & Cos., Norfolk, yesterday, the for mer senator from Maryland, Arthur P. Gorman, being a part owner.

Larned, the cham pion tennis player of the United States, is expecting to build a modern hotel at Annapolis, to be called the Carvel House. Indeed, the interest in the famous old town, revived lately by the book and play, "Richard Car vel," has been very great, and it is visited daily by many touirsts. It is very likely that the new play house will be opened with a perform ance of the play "Richard Carvel,' as it is thought to be a most appropriate ;ne for the purpose. “ NOW IN BANKRUPTCY. Leon L.
