THE NEW THEATRE,
AUSPICIOUS OPENING OF THE HARLEM OPERA HOUSE—
A MAGNIFICENT STRUCTURE.
4TREMQNT STREET
M
R. OSCAR HAMMER STEIN, owner and mana-
ger of The Harlem Opera House, is the recipi-
ent of countless congratulations upon the com-
pletion and successful opening of that new and beautiful
play-house, recently erected at One-hundredand-twenty-
fifth street, near Seventh avenue, N. Y.
This edifice is without doubt the most imposing and
handsome of its kind in the United States. Its architec-
tural splendor, interior embellishment, and luxurious
appointments provoke expressions of admiration from
all who visit it. The arcade and foyer together form a
spacious and continuous promenade 175 feet long and
from 20 to 40 feet in width, wainscoted in Italian marble
and beautifully frescoed, and terminating at the great
mirror, with its gigantic granite and marble columns.
Equally magnificent are the grand staircase and balcony,
the auditorium, the three tiers of wondrously-covered
proscenium boxes, rising to a shell-like dome from •
which rose-colored globes shed a warm glow over all
beneath; the elegant stage curtain, the electric lights
and globes of the shape and color of roses, and the
massive and imposing mantel of Orandilla stone which
stands against the North wall of the foyer, supporting a
marble bust of Richard Wagner. Another important
feature is the spacious and delightful promenade. The
cost of the entire work amounted to over half-a-million
dollars. The house will seat 1,800 persons.
Near by is the new Harlem Opera Hall, erected by
Mr. Hammeistein at a cost of $250,000, in order to
afford music lovers opportunities of hearing concerts by
eminent musicians. This hall will seat a thousand per-
sons. Like the play-house, it is charmingly decorated,
and is fitted up with a view to the maximum of conven-
ience and comfort. A banqueting hall on the floor be-
neath will accomodate 1,000 persons at table. Through-
out the large building are commodious lodge rooms for
orders and societies. We regret that our space will
not admit of a detailed description of these splendid
structures. To Mr. Hammerstein are due the hearty
thanks of New York citizens for the marvellous enter-
prise, public spirit, and refined taste which have charac-
terized his efforts to gratify their musical, dramatic.
BDSTDN
and aesthetic desires. He has perfected a truly noble
work.
On the opening night (Sept. 30th ult.,) the Harlem
Opera House was packed from floor to ceiling by a
wildly enthusiastic audience The play presented was
"The Wife," ihe famous society comedy by David
Belasco and Henry C. DeMille. Mr. Daniel Frohman
directed the performance. We are glad to record so
brilliant an opening, and have no doubt that Mr. Ham-
merstein will continue to receive the support and en-
couragement which he «o eminently merits.

some time past, Mr. Dicker, in company with his
fellow-workmen, has invested his quarter in the hope
of winning a fourth of a twentieth of the capital prize.
Owing to some disagreement, however, he with-
drew from the syndicate, and resolved to speculate on
his own account with a whole dollar, which luckily pro-
duced the biggest possible result. Mr. Dicker received
his money, and quit work, deciding not to " dicker"any
longer with the action business.
