The opera house la prettily carpeted handsomely frescoed and the seats are of mahogany finish of the latest pal- tern. The parquette chairs are nphol stared with leather and the seats in the boxes are of handsome finish of latest design. The chairs and curtains for the boxes were furnished by J. Feck A Co. The ailditoriura is lighted by in candescent electric lights and tha beautiful- blue tinted dome is bril lisntly illumined with electric lights.

The system of lighting was planed, by James Pearl and the wiring was done by the E.glish br th era under the supervision of Heary Mason. The switchboard for the main part of the buil ling Is located on the stage and is ao arrasged that any a a mber of lights may be turned on or oiT as the occasion demands. The switch board for the lights in the balls and ticket is in the box ortlee Both boards are of the latest pattern. The staire is 9 feet longer and 3 feet wider than the stage of the burned Vore auditorium and the height of this part of the building is 60 feet from stage to gridiron, giving accommoda tion for any spectacular performance played in the large cities. The theatre is fully equipped with its' own scenery of the latest patterns, including slide drop curtains, side scenes, flies and Other stage settings.

The scenery vaa painted and manufactured by Ambrewster i Company, of Columbus, Ohio. The stage baa fourteen dressing rosms with all improvements and conveniences. The ladies' retiring room, just off the parquet circle, has the appearance of a pretty parlor. The floor ia covered with a soft inoqnet carpet and cushioned settees furnish places for rest. There are targe mirrors and marble washstaads for the accommodation of patrons and the room will be in ch'srge of a maid.

A men's retiring room is being fitted up in the basement. The beautiful decorations are the work of L. A. Thiel, of Chicago, and the painting on the doing is especially attractive. The carpenter work on the building was done under the direction of Robert O.

Xeely, who has proven himself a skilled artisan. The mason work was done under the supervision of George Mills. The entire auditorium la heated throughout by a steam plant put in by1 Edward Brammall, who also did the plumbing work. The theatre ia as near fire proof as it can be andwide exits make it poaaible to empty the house in less than five minutes. servsd seats may always be secur ed at the iox office of the theatre which gives patrons another advantage of having a metropolitan playhouse.
