DORCHESTER HOUSE
SCHEME.
If success attends a scheme to which many prominent people have promised support, a theatre and opera house will be built in the world's most famous residentia' street, Park-lane, Londen W.
It is proposed that Dorchester House, the Earl of Moricy's man- sión, should be acquired as a centre of Imperial and international arts and sciences, and that the theatre should be erected where the stables bow are. The house would be left untouched.
