    Notes:

    "Pop" Philip, who headed every parade in the city, was probably the most colorful citizen in Kitchener's history. Born in Goderich, he later moved to this city. After rolling cigars and making buggy springs he became intensely interested in the theatre and while acting professionally married Minnie Estrelle, an American stage actress, before the footlights preceding a theatre performance. He brought many stage shows to Berlin and also developed amateur theatricals.

    He was a close friend of the late J. Ambrose Small, Toronto millionaire theatre producer, who vanished mysteriously. Philip operated a cigar store, and then leased and operated the Walper Hotel for three years. He bought the Clarendon Hotel across the street and became owner of several movie theatres in Ontario, but never lost his interest in things theatrical. Philip served as alderman for several years and supported the creation of Victoria Park.

    The new opera house is rapidly nearing completion and next Tuesday and Wednesday will be inaugurated by the Wilbur Opera Company.
    building is beautifully and practically organized throughout; the auditorium, measures 56' x 36' and has, together with the large gallery, seating for 800 people; the stage is 24' wide, 27' long and 47' high, including the rooms for scenery.

    The illumination is provided by fittings for gas and electric light. The building contract was bestowed on Mr. H. Wildfang, who had subcontracted the masonry work to Mr. George Schlee, the painting to Mr. F. Vetter, and the piping and conduits to Mr. P. Gies. As already announced, the Wilbur Opera Co. will give three performances in Berlin; in addition to the opera, there will be presentations of living pictures, marches, etc. with electrical illumination.
