NEW THEATRE FOR WELLAND

[Welland Telegraph, 7 January 1908]

A project is on foot to provide Welland with a new theatre, commodious, modern and up-to-date in every particular.

The site selected in on the corner of Cross and Division Streets, with entrances on both streets. Underneath will be three stores. The stage will be of such capacity as to be able to accommodate all the big shows travelling. The width of the stage is to be 54 feet, and the depth 30 feet. Adjoining the stage are twelve dressing rooms, properly room and scenery storage. The auditorium will seat six hundred persons with the gallery. In the block will also be a lodge room.

Local men are behind the scheme and stock sheets will be issued shortly.
