Large Stage Installed at the Auditorium.
Wright Walker, manager of the Auditorium and skating rink, has installed a large stage to accommodate traveling show companies.
The stage, while not yet completed, is well arranged and presents a striking appearance in the building. The scenery is elegant and was all painted by Mr. Walker.
He also did the carpenter work. A place at the front of the stage has been constructed for footlights which will soon be installed, and an orchestra pit will also be provided, making the stage arrangements strictly up to date.
As soon as the stage and accessories are completed, it is the intention of Mr. Walker to present a show or probably a series of shows.
The house will also be open to good traveling companies, and it is very probable that Benson will soon become a regular stopping point for traveling shows and give the people an opportunity of seeing a better class of entertainments than in the past.
