Another angle to proposed remodeling of Fay's Is shown in the plans which have been prepared for the remodeling of the Hotel Rochester, which adjoins the theatre. Both places are owned by the National Hotel Cor- poration. Two additional stories will be added to tbe present building, a twelve story addi- tion will be erected and a roof garden added. A French grill and chop house will replace the present bar. It la announced by the hotel that tbe contract will include the work on- the theatre, which as proposed means practically a rebuilding of the house with the exception of the four walls. It is hoped to start the work this year, but that will depend on labor and market conditions.
