Adelphi Theatre
With the enormous space inclosed within the solid masonry of the old Post-Office building, on the corner of Dearborn and Monroe streets, the lessees of the property start with advantages enjoyed by no other managers. The extent of the ground gives such ample measurements for the departments of a theatre that it was a necessity to plan and arrange on a scale of magnificence quite unusual. The separate divisions of the ground into stage, auditorium, and lobby are so large that only the most elaborate and colossal designs could give harmony to the whole.
