In tho tlrst place the building wns tho
subject of comment and could tho
gentlemen responsible for its construc
tion hnvo heard all that was said in
laudation of its many merits they
would havo boon highly ploasod that
their efforts woro so satisfactory
Many who had persistently Insisted
that tho building would not bo in readi
ness for tho opening woro coinpollcd to
admit that they erred in judging tho
capabilities of tho management as al
though thorn yot remains many things
to bo dono boforo tho building its fur
nishings and flxtnros nro In n stnto of
completeness to thoso who woro unin
formed or givro It but passing attention
there was nothing lacking to mnko it n
porfect plnco of anmsomont and a prido
to tho pooplo of Norfolk who havo for
years folt tho urgent need of a building
of its character
Tlio high coiling extending far above
tho topmost placo in tho gallory was
well formed to mnko tho pound porfect
in nearly ovory part of tho house Bo

from any part of tho houso and thoro is

also very attractive
All this combines to produce nu oflect

somu aro on a much larger scalo
Tho building is an exact duplicate of
tlio Empire theator of Now Yorlc City
and that Norfolk cau afford this dis

ninny Norfolk oitizons It will answer
Norfolks every need for yonrs to come

Mr Warrant appeared before tho cur

THE NORFOLK AUDITORIUM
Ono of tint llmiitiioiiwNl mill Moot Com
pltttn Opnrii IIoiiniN In tlio Sliito
Tho Norfolk Auditorium is a build
ing which would do credit to a city
several times the size of Norfolk and is
one in which every citizon should take
prido For many yenrs Norfolk has
needed just such u building and from
time to timo various plans havo been
advanced with the hopo of securing it
but until tho present without result
In Juno last a proposition looking to tho
building of tlio present Auditorium was
presented to tho Business Mons Asso
ciation of Norfolk by representatives of
tho Hoyal Union Mutual Lifo Insurance
Company of Des Moines Iowa being in
brief that provided tho citizens of this
city would purchase -1000 worth of
opening night seats and tnko insurance
policies in said company Kiillloiont for
the lirst annual premiums on sumo to
amount to J00 thoy would build in
this city an opera houso with n
seating capacity of npproxiinntely 1000
persons to cost not loss than 10000
Tho present building is tho result It is
in overy way superior to what tho peo
ple of Norfolk had any reason to expect
under the agreement of lust summer
Under direction of Mr V Warrant
representing the company construction
was begun eleven weeks since In this
renmrkubly short length of time the
pooplo of this city havo seen built a
strictly modern auditorium handsome
substantial nnd equipped throughout
with all tho latest accessories of the up
to dato play house Tho building is 50
by 100 feet with high arched ceiling
tastefully decorated in harmonious col
ors The stago 0 by 10 is ns largo ns
thoso in tho best theatres of the cities
and is fully ndequato to accomodato nny
entertainniout that travels An abund
ance of tlrst class scenery is provided
so that overy play prosonted may be
woll stagod Tho prosconium arch is
S l by S10
The building is seated with ensy
opera chairs so arranged on an inclino
that from overy ono a good viow of tho
stage is presonted The lower floor
seats about -100 persons tho balcony
about while the four boxes two
uppor and two lower will nceonimodato
eight or ton persons each Tho main
entrance is at the center fronting on
Fourth street whilo there aro thrco ox
its besides thoso from tho stago
through which the houso could bo
cleared in two minutes in caso of firo
Electric lights aro used throughout in
such numbers that tho offect is most
satisfactory Tho building is heated by
two largo furnnces and in fact all de
tails that go to make up a lirst class nu
litoriuin havo been carefully consid
ered and provided
For this splendid auditorium tho
thanks of tho peoplo aro duo to tho
many who havo contributed townrd its
construction aud also to Messrs Wil
liams Wigton nnd Warrant represent
ing tho Hoyal Union Mutual Lifo In
surance company under whoso plana
direction and energy tho building was
niado possible Tho now building is
entitled to and should receive a libera
patronage
Involution of Amuwuinmit Hulls
The ancient history of Norfolks the
atrical and other entertaiinnents is
rather vngno and indefinite but enough
memories havo been revived in tho
minus ot several oltl tnnors to givo n
moro or less interesting sketch of the
evolution of pnblio entortainnients
Apparently the first move looking
toward a publio cntertaininoiit at least
among citizens of English descent was
in tho winter of 1S70 when a club styled
tho 13 T M I W A A P F
Bound to Mnko it Win and Anything
for Fun wns organized This club was
of a social rather than a theatrical na
turo and its entertainments consisting
of socials dances ote wero held in a
hall iu tho Beels block which was built
in 187 1 This hall was ordinarily used
by tho Masons and Odd Fellows for
thoir lodgo meetings but tho club also
secured it for their social gatherings
In 1877 a stago was constructed in tho
west room of tlio Beels block now occu
pied as a grocery by Bniasch Zuolow
and a performance in costume by ania
tours was rendored This was probably
the nearest approach to theatrical en-
tortaimnontyot given in tho villngo
In 1870 tho Olnoy block wns built and
soon after its completion tho Masons
gavo a grand ball which was largely at
tended by tho peoplo of Norfolk It is
believed that thoro was an Undo Toms
Cabin performance in tho same building
but if there wns tho Into of tho outer
tuinmeut is not remembered This hall
was used for quite a number of social
and amusement functions
About 1880 tho building now known
as tho Wltlaman building and in which
tho G A 11 hall wns located until quite
recently was built by Henry Somniler
Ho conducted a saloon on tho lirst floor
and tho upper room was used qulto fro
quontly for cheap theatrical and variety
performances Mr Witlamun pur
chased tho building in 1881 It is per
tinent at this timo to unto tho fact that
tho Norfolk flro department had its
birth in this building tho prinio movers
in its organization boing Mr Widiunan
Major Muthewson and Harry Bronie
Tho first named gentleman was tho tlrst
chiof nnd served with honor for several
terms Ho was presented with a cap or
helmet and belt by tho members of tho
infant department upon his retirement
from tho position Theso accoutre
ments aro still in tho possession of nnd
highly valuod by Norfolks chief of
police
Early in tho 80s tho rollor skating
excitement was abroad in tho land and
this amusement took firm hold upon the
entortainmont loving citizens of Norfolk
and tho building quite recontly used by
Ilwrman Pasowalk as nn implement
wnrehonso and salesroom wns converted
into a skating rink Thopastinio proved
so popular that about 1881 two gentlo
nieu by tho nanio of W Woods and L
Davis built a largo rink on tho corner
now occupied by tho Cotton block Main
nnd Fourth streets This building is
now located noxt door north of tho pre
sent auditorium In it tho aniuseinont
of roller skating hold full sway until its
decline in popular favor However the
rink was occasionally used for dances
and theatricals wero given from a tem
porary stage erected for each occasion
When tho building camo into tho pos
session of Herman Gerecko tho roller
skating fad was on tho declino and ho
soon after converted it pormanontly
into an opera houso This proved most
satisfactory for many years nnd many
operas ind theatres both professional
and anmteur wero held on its stago
When the peoplo thought that they
should havo a better placo of amuse
ment tho opera houso was converted
into a earriago repository and nothing
bettor having been provided O F
Eisoley opened tho hnll in his building
secured the scenery and erected a stago
This proved not as satisfactory as tho
old rink and ifrsoon becamo impossiblo
to got an audience to nttend tho per
formances given therein
The Marqunrdt hall was opened last
May by A J Durland as an opera house
having been equipped with stngo and
sconery This hnll is better than nny
of its predecessors tho chief objection
to it boing thnt it is on tho thirds- floor
It is still used us an ninusenient hnll
and is frequently occupied with dnncing
parties and othor entertainments
