| Description | The Ariel Theatre is a rare old opera house, built in 1895. A snap of the fingers confirm the hall's bell-clear acoustical quality, which, in its pre-electronic age of construction depended on materials, design and contractor know-how. A beaten path called "the circuit", brought performers such as Will Rogers, Cecil B. deMille, Sarah, Sarah Bernhardt and "Dixie" composer, Daniel Decatur(Old Dan)Emmett, to the stage. Gradually live shows gave way to moving pictures. However, in 1963, the last movie was shown and the doors closed. For nearly 25 years, resident pigwons, a leaky roof and chronic neglect took their toll. Then, a visit from a local professional musician noted that, despite the mess, Ariel's acoustical quality still rang true and the Ariel's restoration began. |
