NEW THEATER PLANS
Playhouse to Be Maintained For
Advancement of Art.
LUXURIOUS IN ITS FITTINGS.
Splendid Structure to Be Erected In
New York Will Seat 2,31& Fine
Quarter For Star Performer Im
mense Stage and Bar Open All Year
Round.
Complete plans for the New theater,
which is to be "maintained for the ad
vancement of art and not for commer
cial gain," on the block in Central
Park West, between Sixty-second and
Sixty-third streets, New York, were re
cently given out by the architects or
the remarkable structure. The exca
vating work has been done, and the
foundations of the theater have been
laid up to the level of the street. Work
on the building will be pushed from
now on, and it is expected that tho
New theater will be ready for the sea
son of 1909.
Its founders hope that it will stand
in the same relation to dramatic and
musical art as do the principal thea
ters of Europe. It is planned not only
to foster and stimulate art by the pro
duction of plays and light operas that
are worth while, but also to maintain
a 6chool of musical and dramatic art.
The well to do men who stand be
hind the project have arranged that all
profits above a very small interest on
the money invested shall be devoted
to the development of such a school,
the accumulation of an endowment
fund and other like purposes. Briefly,
it is planned to make the New theater
the nearest thing to a national theater
that can be obtained in the United
States.
The architects therefore have tried
to plan a fitting home for the develop-
ment of such an idea. The stage ana
auditorium will occupy but a moder
ate portion of Its plan. Ample pro
vision is ihade for a foyer, grand stair
case, retiring and cloak rooms, smok
ing room, entrances, roof garden, buf
fet, quarters for confectioner and flor
ist and similar accommodations.
The building will occupy a site front
ing 200 feet ou Central Park West. It
will run back on Sixty-second street
223 feet and 200 feet on Sixty-third
street The exterior is to be of In
diana limestone. The architecture will
follow the Italian renaissance. The
main building will have a high base
containing all the entrances and a
two story colonnade. The foyer, ex
tending through the height of two sto
ries, will be accentuated by large
arches extending the full height of the
columns.
It may be noted in passing that the
buffet will extend all along the front
and that it will be open all the year
round, as will the roof garden, restau
rant and art Instruction schools.
. There will be twenty-two entrances,
the biggest at the two corners, and
the others will be strung along Sixty
second and Sixty-third streets. At the
corners will be two monumental dou
ble staircases, one leading to the boxes,
the other to the galleries.
The house will seat 2.313 people, GOO
in the orchestra pit, 300 in the boxes
and 1.41S In the two galleries. The
boxes are arranged in two tiers of
twenty-four each, most of which have
been subscribed for. Nine stairways
will lead from the boxes through the
foyer. In the rear of the boxes will be
a private hall, so that box occupants
of one floor may visit bther boxes on
the same floor.
The auditorium will be elliptical In
form, the long axis of the ellipse be
ing parallel with the stage, so that the
farthest box In the center of the bouse
will be no farther from the stage than
the last orchestra seat In the usual
small theater.
No orchestra seat will be under a
gallery. The architects have tried to
make it possible for every person oc
cupying a seat to hear and see every
thing. The acoustics will be as nearly
perfect aa povnible.
The stage is to be 100 feet wide, CS
feet deep and 112 feet In the clear.
The depth below the stage will be
thirty-two feet. The proscenium arch
Is to be forty-five feet wide and forty
feet high. Few theaters have a stage
so largv.
Accommodations for the stars will
be luxurious. Hoonia for twenty-three
men and fifteen women have been pro
vided for. Ail the dressing rooms face
on the street Four or five of the thir
teen elevators will be nsed to take the
chorus girls and supers to and from
the stage.
The stage will be big enough for
grand opera. The Metropolitan stage
1s no larger.
