The main entrance will open on U. S. Route 12, the orchestra will be at the north end of the hall, while at the south end will b« the refreshment counter and there will be a large check room and convenient rest rooms. The material used in the construction of the building is Cooley blocks and the construction will be fireproof in every respect. N. J.
