THE BUTTE.
------
Work of Construction on the Grand Concert Hall Being Pushed
as Rapidly as Possible
- To Be Opened next Saturday.
Once more
THE TIMES calls this attention of the public to the grand concert
hall, to be known as The Butte, now under construction on Bennett
avenue between First and Second. The Butte will be under the
management of Mr. Joseph Halbekann, a man of many years experience
in his line throughout the southwestern states and territories,
and his partner, Mr. Joseph Hertz, has been in the southern
country for many years, and made a grand success of his business.
The Buttes will
be run as a first class amusement hall for gentlemen only. It will
be equipped with the most substantial of furniture in the
bar-room, the fixtures of which will be the most expensive that
have ever been brought to Cripple Creek.
An ornamental
feature will be three life-size statues, Mother Eve among them. A
neat stage will be constructed, on which will appear nightly from
8 to 12 o'clock, a Vienna ladies orchestra, who will render a
program of select music.
All day long
and in the evening the management will be prepared to serve the
public with an imported delicatessen lunch, a la Tony Faust of St.
Louis. Every effort is being made to have the resort open by next
Saturday, the 22d instant.
In
conjunction with the retail department will be "The
Distiller's Agency," managed by Mr. S. Wilmer, who will be
the local representative for S. Hirsch & Co., distillers of
Kansas City, and for F. Heims, the famous Kansas City brewer. Mr.
Wilmer will supply the wholesale trade of the district with the
excellent goods manufactured by these firms.
He will also
handle cigars manufactured by three of the best factories in New
York.
Look out for
the opening announcement.
