The Amateurs
The New Century Dramatic Club made its first appearance before a full house in a new and novel production, A Seminary Escapade, at Dietz Opera House, Oakland, April 17, 1900.
The cast comprised a number of promising young people who impersonated the characters in a very efficient manner. During the evening excellent specialties were introduced.
A Trip To Nome, a new and original melodrama, will soon be put in rehearsal.

New Theatre for Seattle
A corporation called the Pacific Amusement Company, of which John Cort is president, has been formed, for the purpose of building a new theatre in Seattle on Cherry Street, between Second and Third Avenues. The capital, $50,000, has been subscribed by the stockholders, most of whom are local men. One of the stockholders however, is a Dawson thearical manager who made a large fortune in the Klondike. The theatre will be a four-story structure of Moorish architecture. It will be built of pressed brick with stone trimmings and will cost when completed about $35,000. Its seating capacity will be 2, 100. The plans are for a three-story
building to seat 1,400 and to cost about $20,000.
The promoters of the new theatre announce that it will be finished by September 1 . The main entrance will be 120 feet. The stage will be 70 feet wide by 40 feet deep. The foyer will be elaborately decorated. The vestibule will have a tiled floor and be wainscotted with Washington marble.
Mr. Cort has already begun negotiating for attractions. Only traveling companies will be contracted with, and both first-class and popular-price attractions will be played.
Sunday night's crowd at the Grand was the biggest assemblage in the theatrical history of this city. People were simply packed — aisles and every available foot of space filled.
