SLANT-FLOOR REPLACES STEPS The Old Danger of an Accident Be- cause of the Stairway In the - trance Has Been Removed and the Steps Thrown Into the Alley. A great many radical changes have been made In the Norfolk Auditorium during the past fosv weeks , but none is moro drastic than the alteration which has boon effected In regard to , the entrance , where an effort has been , made to do away with all chance of an accident which might have resulted in n Jam under the old conditions. t ' Steps In the entry-way have been torn out and thrown Into the alley , and in their place Is now a slanting lloor 1 which leads from the main door e > f the 1 theater up to the inner entrance. ( was thought that under the old nr-'nt j | rnngemeiit , with steep stops In that little box of an entry-way , a crush of . Jf people might cause broken limbs and * perhaps more serious accidents but under the now plan all danger has been removed and the entry-way Is considered accident proof because there are no breaks In the lloor. Behind the Curtain. There are a number of other radical changes in the building. As much work and expense has been devoted behind the curtain , on the stage and / under the stage , as out In the public * portion of the playhouse. The dress ing rooms used to bo conspicuous por- | tlons of the Auditorium by their un- cleanliness. Unsightly to a degree , no care was over taken to make them comfortable or even presentable to a high class theatrical company. They have been rebuilt , refurnished , sup plied with heat and made much more respectable in many ways. They are now to be cozy enough for the most discriminating star. The expense of remaking the thea ter will run between $1,500 and $2,000. "Red" is the Word. The Auditorium management takes exception to the word "crimson" ns used In these columns with regard to the new color of the sldowalls. "Deep rich red" Is the precise term applied 1 by the house managor. And so "deep I rich red" goes. Three new furnaces are now In position - sition to make heat for the theater and it Is believed that there will bo no longer the complaint of cold feet. And carpeted aisles will keep down the noise of feet. Doors have been installed at the entryways to the balcony , so that the stairways will no longer act as chim neys for drawing all of the heat. All doors will be fitted against squeaking as they formerly did. Every effort is being made to fit the house for the opening night next Tuesday . day evening , January 29 , when Alberta Gallatin , presenting "Dorothy Vernon of Haddon Hall , " will be seen here for the first time. The new drop curtain has been fin L. ished with an entirely new painting and advertising cards have been re . . . moved. A new finish has been placed around the proscenium which it is be lieved will add to the theater's attrac tiveness. The celling is decorated with a painting and differs In finish on plain portions from the sldewalls. The boxes , which have always been | unfinished and crude , have been touched up with an effort to make them moro presentable. Sounding Properties Helped. Audiences hereafter , it is believed will be able to hear what the actors say. Many defects wore unearthee and remedied. Among the most prom inent factors under the old arrange ment in making it impossible to hear was the current of hot air from pit to stage. This will be done away with it is thought , under the new hentln. . system. The Opening Show. The following advance notice , fur nished by the company , has been re celved concerning Miss Gallatin ant : her play : In the realm of romantic drama this season , there is no production more elaborate and picturesque than that o" "Dorothy Vernon of Haddon Hall , ' which Ernest Shlpman has prepared for Miss Alberta Gallullu's starrin tour. The scenes of Mr Major's rea historic romance as dramatized by Paul Kcster , all transpire within or in the neighborhood of Haddon Hall , the most picturesque and best-preserved of Elizabethan manor houses ; and the scenery has all been painted and con structed after actual photographs ofd the place. This work has been divided ed among acknowledged experts in Ino their particular field who have repro duced some of the beautiful scenes In and about Haddon Hall in a most real istic manner. The fact that practically n whole wing of Haddon Hall has been . built on the stage will give some idea of the massivpness and solidity of this . , most elaborate production. ] In the days of "Good Queen Bess" the English court was one of the most elaborately and picturesquely dressed of all Europe , and the costumes used in this production have been designed from historic drawings and tapestries. oven the matter of Incidental music hni > not been neglected and N. Melville Ellis , composer of "Tho Marriage of Kitty , " A Chinese Honeymoon , " and otlu'r popular successes has composed a conlpleto score in the quaint old English ballad stylo. Headers will remember how delight ' fully Charles Major related the ro v : iiinnca of Charles Urandon and Marv ! Tudor In "When Knighthood Was In Flower , " and how cleverly Paul Ko , tor transferred Ita principal scenes am characters to the ilago. H was one of the few "drumntt' < d novelH" to proBe - Be rvo the iittmwplu H' ' and plot of Iho original t-tory. while fitted to the re quirements of the lage In color , life and dramatic ellmnxeH , Thoieforo playgoers may anticipate with plo.is- iirablo confidence the forthcoming pro duction of "Dorothy Vernon of Hud- dot Hall , " Mr , Major's latest popular historical romauco , of which Mr. Kos- ter Is the dramatlHt. And those who . remember Mlns Alberta Gnllatln In l"Ceiisln j < Kate1 , " will realize how com pletely she Is suited to the title role ' In ' which Hho will star this season uu- I dor the direction of Ernest Shlpman , who has surrounded his star with n notable l company , the members of which were all engaged especially for ( the roles they are to portray. The production will bo the attraction at 1 the ' Auditorium on January 29. I , The Norfolk Democrat says : "Tho 'Auditorium ' Is now in the hands of decorators ( ( and carpenters. The owner - CI' Is sparing neither effort or money to * make this ono of the best oporn houses In this part of the Htato. Among other things a now healing plant Is being Installed.

NEBRAKSA LAWMAKERS LOOK OVER INSANE HOSPITAL. NEED THREE NEW BUILDINGS Hospital ( for Acute Female Cases , $60- 000 ; Cottage for Chronic Male Cases , $20,000 ; Stable , $7,500 Are All Needed - . ed Badly Sleep In Attics. [ Prom Monday's Dallv.J Over a dozen state legislators of Nebraska visited the Norfolk Insane mspltal during the day for the pur- lose of recommending an approprla- .Ion with an understanding of the In stitution's needs. Dr. G. A. Young , the now superintendent , gave to each of the visitors a typewritten statement of what he considered needed by the Institution. It calls for an appropria tion of $87,500 for now buildings. Dr. Young states that a new hospl- tal for the acute female cases Is need- ed. This , It is estimated , would cost $00,000. It would be unlike either the cottages or the now reconstructed west wing , but would resemble the wing. A new cotago for the male chronic cases Is needed , which would cost $20- 000. A new stable capable of caring for thorughbred stock , In order that a large quantity and good quality of milk may bo had. Is needed. This would cost $7,500. Sleeping in Attics. The Institution Is now so crowded that dormitories for the female pa tients are being fitted up in the attics of cottages and there in the garrets these unfortunates sleep , because the state has not provided more room. Dining rooms In the cotages are being L.made into dormitories , the dining rooms being sent to the basements and the heating plants which were In the | cellars are being concentrated Into Q . . . .B. . . one main heating plant. There are at present forty patients from northern Nebraska in the Lincoln hospital , who ought to be in Norfolk because they came originally from this hospital and were transferred to Lin coln at the time of the fire. There never has been enough room hero for the return of those forty patients to their own hospital. Their families want them here , that they may visit them moro easily. The Instltulon now has a capacity for 250 patients. The ntaural rate of I I Increase would bring 140 moro above the sixty to leave , In the next two I years and this , with the forty brought back from Lincoln , would make -1001 by the time the next legislature meets. Lincoln has asked for a now building I but Dr. Young contends that If the forty from Lincoln are returned , the | claim of J-incoln for a building will bo invalidated. For Chronic Cases. Dr. Young and other insane hospital authorities are much in favor of a bill providing that each insane hospital In | the state care for Its own aculo cases , which would change the Hastings asy-1 linn from ono for the incurable to ono iko that at Lincoln or hero. It was arranged that ( lip legislators should meet Norfolk business men and I citi/.ens at the Elk club rooms Monday light , and it was announced that all citizens , whether Elks or not , would be welcome at the reception. C. A. Randall and T. E. Alderson were among the legislators here. The senators hero were : Randall , Dodson , Saunders , WIlcox. Land Commissioner Eaton was also here. I CARL WARNER IS DEAD.
