THEATRE WITH GRUESOME RESOURCES.
Kelly'. Theatre, Lverpool, has ju-t elo.-ed its career a» an entertainment I'ou-e. In the eld days, when tin' theatre was known as the Colosseum, the audieiico had to pa -s through a graveyard which partly encircled the l.uilding, and amongst the most superstitious frequenters the belief gained grounj that the vicinity was haunted by some -pirit "doomed for a certain term to walk the night." Let this he as t may, there i> no doubt that he propertyman of the theatre was, prior to the removal of the remains for re'nternmcnt el-ew here, never at his wits' end for a skull for Hamlet. When "Eugene Aram -' iv.n being played at one time -t is reported that a real skeleton from t*i» adjoining graveyard was, in fact, requisitioned to do duty for the bones of Aram's victim!
A landing-place for aviators will !k> provided on top of the new Commodore Hotel bo be erected in New York.
