Architect Wood Has Drawn Plans of New Theatre. 

Stores Easily Rented

Several Stores and Offices are Already Spoken For.

Part of the Building is to Belong to a Lodge. - The Theatre Will have Two Galaries, Boxes and a Large Stage.

With the exception of selling the stock the new opera house seems to be an assured fact. It seems, also, that the money will easily be forthcoming. Considerable is now in the hands of one man and W. Randolph McGregor has assurance of other capitalists. Besides that the plans are now here and offices and stores are being rented. Three stores have already been spoken for and also two office suites.

The building will be three stories high with a high basement under each store, which will be rented. One part of the house will be occupied by a lodge - two lodges are negotiating for it - each of the six stores are to be 60 feet deep and 20 feet wide. The interior of the house will be fitted up in modern style with two galleries, boxes and a well arranged stage. The building will cost about $50,000, seating capacity 1,300.

Col. Wood, of Detroit, the architect, was in the city yesterday and spoke very enthusiastically over the proposition and thinks well of the site. The parties interested expect to be in shape to begin on the building this fall.
