“Messrs. Mark Smith and Lewis Baker have leased the late Lucy Rushton Theatre, and are at present making several alterations in the auditorium, preparatory to opening for the season with a good stock company. The unsightly steeples are to be taken down and the building made to look more like a temple of the Muses than it does now.”
