Text Appearing Before Image:
rks of art. Thestage is one of the most perfect in the world; thescenery is moved by machinery; and the changes ofscene are executed with such quietness and ease, thatthey seem like a series of dissolving views. The theatre was built by Edwin Booth, between1867 and 1869, and was designed by him to be themost sumptuous temple of the drama in America.It was opened in January, 1869, and for several sea-sons was conducted by Mr. Booth. Here he pro-duced his plays upon a scale of magnificence neverwitnessed before even in New York—his Shakespear-ian revivals being among the events of the dramatichistory of the country. This entailed upon the estab-lishment a degree of expense which proved Mr.Booths financial ruin, and he was at length compelledto retire from the management. His successors havebeen but little more fortunate. The necessary ex-penses of the house are very great, and the theatre-goers of New York have not supported the efforts ofthe successive managers as they have deserved.
Text Appearing After Image:

It is a massive struc-ture of white marble, erected by the late Samuel N.Pike, of Cincinnati, as an opera house, about fourteenyears ago. The location was unfortunate, however,and the opera house failed as a pecuniary venture
