ORIENT OPERA HOUSE

[Welland Tribune, 19 March 1897]

Orient opera house has had a large patronage from various classes of entertainments the past winter, and we trust that the enterprising owner, Mr. Garner, will see his way clear to make several improvements before next winter. The greatest want of all is proper heating. Many a slim attendance was due to the fact that the hall could not be made comfortable with the old system of heating, with one stove. The scenery, too, would bear a little lightening up with advantage to all-the proprietor, the players and the audience. A false floor which would slightly raise the rear seats, is also needed. Add to these, absolutely clean and tidy dressing rooms, stage and auditorium, and the opera house would be even more popular in the future than in the past. The public trust that Mr. Garner will grant the most pressing of these wants before another season opens.
