Idea Theatre

A
visit to the Idea Theatre on First Street will convince any of our citizens that
the new management is in earnest in the promise made some time ago and
published in The Leader, to give the citizens of Watertown a first-class
vaudeville theater.
There
will be a transformation scene as far as the interior of the theater is
concerned. The place will be remodeled
and decorated and given a metropolitan appearance . . . The ceiling and walls
are to be sized and kalsomined and the wood-work is to be painted, all
contributing to brighten up the place, which has been an eyesore for some time,
owing to the untidy appearance of the place . . . One of the noteworthy of the improvements to
be made is the construction of a stairway fire escape . . .
