TOOTLE'S OPERA HOUSE, ST. JOSEPH, MO.

The reputation this theater has made for itself, and the fact that it is known as the pioneer Opera House in the West, render it unnecessary to offer any extended description. While theaters have been erected, calculated to surpass in beauty and costliness Tootle's Opera House, few, to-day, can legitimately claim equality, and none can surpass it in all that pertains to the arrangement of a first-class place of amusement. The stage is 40 × 67, with an opening 34 × 35, and is furnished with a full complement of scenery. Recently the house has been thoroughly renovated, repainted inside and outside, and re-carpeted; a new drop curtain hung, and the apparatus for lighting the gas by electricity placed in the building; a new steam heating apparatus and the water works connection are also among the improvements; capacity 1,500. Tootle's Opera House is located in the very center of a city of 45,000 inhabitants.
