With More Uses than One.
A new theater is In process of construction at Buenos Ayres, which bids fair to be the largest In the world. It is so planned as to enable carriages to deposit their occupants on the level of the grand tier of boxes as well as on the ground floor, while lifts will be provided for the benefit of all seatholders In the upper part of the house. But the most characteristic feature of the new theater. Is the arrangement by whichjJn the brief space of three hours the p!v and stalls can be converted Into a circus or racing track; so that on the same day, or even on the same night, tragedy may give place to a bull fight, or opera to a bicycle or foot race. Finally, further means are provided by which the ground floor of the housu can be turned into a mimic lake, for swimming or other aquatic performances.
