THEATER PROSPEGTS AT WESTERLY| A. O. Ashley, of Boston, M;y Have New Structure On Dixon House Property—Treasurer Robert W. Perkins, of Nor- wich, Secures $5,000 Wotan Orchestion For Free Casino at Pleasant View—Captair Bliven Property Sold —Chauffeur Breaks Wrist. D wur big new manufacturing es- tablishments in Westerly mean a ma- terfal Increase in population and that, of course, means more business, more money in circulation. Theatrical man- agers are evidently cognizant of the prospective conditions, and therefore an effort is being made to provide more amusement. Already A. A. Ash- ley of Boston, who has something in interest in one of the existing play- houses, has already made a proposition for the bullding of a new and modern theater where the highest grade of performances can be properly staged. The matter of building a new theater iras been broached to Willlam Segar, owner of the Dixon house property, Jocated right in the business center. In the rear of the hotel there is a Jarge tract of land, almost as large in mrea as that covered by the hotel. Mr. Segar is considering a plan to build a theater on a part of this land, with a large and atiractlve entrance in the open space between the Dixon house and the building of the Washington Trust company. The plan is to have an ornate entrance, but as the building is to be In the rear of the hotel build- ing there is no need for ornamental ex- terior, but to pay special attention to the interior decoyations. Mr. Segar #aid Saturday that he knew nothing of the theatrical business, but he was in- clined to the belief that a theater at that place would be profitable invest- memt if properly managed. Mr. Segar informed Mr. Ashley that he would glve the matier consideration before gtving a decided answer. He ‘said, however, that he possessed the most avaiiable site in the town for a theater and perhaps adapted better for that use thag any other. The Captain Bliven property, so- called, located in Lower Pawocatuck, considered the finest place in that vi- cimity, the house, built by the late WuMllam Howard Robinson, costing nearly $14,000, has been purchased from Willlam A. Wilcox by Edward G. Chester of Greenman avenue. It is the plan of the new ownsr to restore this whole property to its former grandeur and to make it the most attractive place within view of the Pawcatuck river. Werk is bei rushed on the exten- on of the trolley road from Pleasant iew to Weekapaug and upon the new casino near Pleasant View, which is to be for the free use of the patirons of the road. Robert W. Perkins, treasurer of the Norwich and Westerly Traction company, was inspecting the progress of the work Saturday. He said it was the pian of the company to make the casino one of the most attractive of its kind and that it will be up to date in every detail. Mr. Perkins has at an expense of nearly $5,000 secured one of the six celebrated Wotan full brass band orchestrions that have been im- ported into the United States, which coal hols wiil be installed in the casino. It is a full band of 40 pleces, will be operated by electricity and supply concert and dance music, the selections being the very best obtainable. This wonderful automatic musical instrument ‘was built by Welte & Son, Frieburg, Ger- meny. The other five in the country have been secured for some "of the larger amusement parks in the large cities, but none are superior to the one io be Installed in the castno at Pleas- ant View.
