The Theatre is in excellent order, having lately been thoroughly repainted and redecorated, and it is acknowledged by all Theatrical Companies to be one of the best appointed Theatres in New Zealand.

The advantages of the public -will be having the option of reletting to the various local bodies such as the Theatrical Clubs, Public Meetings, Volunteers, Gymnasium, &c, and for Balls and Skating Rink. The'expenses are very small, as the Store adjoining the Theatre (part of the building) is let to Mr Prebble for £30 per annum, on the agreement that he acts as custodiin, thereby saving any expense in keeping the Theatre clean. Applications will be considered in the order in which they are received. The Share List will close on the 31st August.
