Madison St., near State, CHICAGO, ILL.
From Grosvenor Glenn’s Columbian Guide to Chicago and the World’s Fair.
“McVicker’s Theatre—a name, the synonym of high class art aud progress, is still under the personal supervision of J. H. McYicker, Esq., who for forty-five years has never relaxed his efforts to keep the Theatre clearly in the popular mind as the criterion.
“The interior is rich iu decoration, yet so chaste as at first to appear plain; the color scheme is a deep salmon brown, diminishing to a delicate pink, as the extending arches meet the ceiling; above the boxes are two magnificently sculptured panels, representing LaSalle’s triumphal march, and the Massacre of Fort Dearborn, each costing $5,000. The fire curtain of asbestos, weighing several tons, presents a view of Chicago in 1833. Over the boxes to the left of the stage is situated the second largest organ ■in the city, built for the Theatre at a cost of over $6,000. This instrument is one of the most perfect grand orchestral organs ever built, having a full electric action controlled by a key-board in the orchestra, the propelling power being supplied by an electric motor. The organ is utilized by the People’s Church on Sundays, where one of the largest congregations assemble to listen to the Rev. H. W. Thomas. During the World’s Fair it will be heard nightly by the attendants at this Theatre, with full orchestral accompaniment.
“Mr. McVicker beirrg- the pioneer of theatrical managers in Chicago, at an early day adopted the' motto: ‘Others may follow, none shall lead!’ and the result is that Chicago’s theatres are to-day acknowledged the finest in the country.”	*
Don’t fail to visit McVicker’s when you are in Chicago.—T. H. G.
