Motley Secretary tro tern : George T. Cross T U tlllS Company is projected for the purJL pose of acquiring the well-known Theatre Royal, now and for the last six years so successfully conducted by Messrs Swan and Ashton, who agree to sell to the Provisional Directors all the Buildings and Leasehold Land, Fittings, Fixtures, Furniture, Stage Properties, Scenery, Machinery, &c, ifcc, now owned by them, for the .sum of .-£3OOO. It is thought by the Promoters that the time lias now arrived when increased accommodation is requisite, and with that view they have had plans prepared giving 16 feet extra width to the body of the Theatre. The Dress Circle will bo advanced 22 feet nearer the stnge, and will be provided Avith the newest and most comfortable of upholstery and seating accommodation, notably the patent iron-framed Chairs now in fashion in the latest built Opera Houses and Theatres. There will be four Private Boxes connecting the Circle with the Proscenium. The Stage will have an additional 10 feet in depth, with a Proscenium opening of 27 feet, and a proportional increase in height. When these alterations arc completed the building will accommodate without any crowding an audience of upwards of 1200 persons, thus ranking as one of the largest in New Zealand, and the revenue receivable from letting will be increased in proportion. The largest companies will also be induced to perform in this town which they now pass by, and in conjunction with the contemplated improved shipping facilities will insure the highest talent visiting what is admitted to be the best show town in the colony for its size. The ventilation of the house and its lighting arc to be made a special feature of the improvements, as also the extra exits and staircases supplied in ease of an alarm of fire. Separate cloak and retiring rooms for Ladies and Gentlemen arc a part of the scheme. To facilitate the more frequent use of the building for Fancy Fairs, Matinees, Horticultural and Poultry, &c, Shows, more windows wiil bo provided, and a project will bo submitted for the appproval of the Directors to light the whole house by Electricity in the latest and most inexpensive manner, thus offering the boon of effective lightingunaccompanicd by oppressive heat in the summer months. The acoustic properties of the Theatre have not been overlooked, as the proposed plan supplies a now dome roof, which will add to the pleasure of the patrons of the entertainments. It is for the purpose of carrying- out these desirable alterations that the Company has been projected, and as testing the public feeling on the subject a hasty canvass for support has been made resulting , in upwards of £3500 worth of shares being taken up, thus rendering the successful floating of the Company a certainty. The names already on the Provisional Directorate ;md the share list are a guarantee for the soundness of the undertaking. Consaaltaiiosj. WILL .jfiLOSE QHORTLY ill Shortly will close shortly.
