Local Improvements: New Queen's Theatre

The polite recreation of the citizens is about to be again provided for, in a new theatre, capable of seating upwards of 500 persons, and to be built at the expense of E. Solomon, Esq., whose former large building devoted to the cultivation of the drama, was leased to the Government as the Courts and Offices of Law during that fearful declension of property, now become matter of history; and so happily succeeded by an unmistakable reaction. The new theatre, for the erection of which tenders are advertised in our impression of this day, hasbeen ably designed by Mr Price, and is to be forthwith erected on the land adjoining the "Temple Tavern", for the special occupation of Mr Coppin's newly arrived company, and the intended establishment, as designed, is pronounced by competent judges to be a unique specimen of this kind of architectural arrangement, and to be admirably adapted to the climate, the stage will be of very ample dimensions, the orchestra judiciously planned, and the audience portion of the theatre, which will consist of boxes and pit only, will be capable of that perfect supervision which is so necessary to the comfort and credit of 'the house.'
