Just before 1910, the Bowersock Theatre was opened to host many traveling Broadway shows. Later it was operated by Commonwealth Theatres and renamed the Jayhawk Theatre. Following a period of inactivity, this historic landmark was again reopened after having been remodeled. The name is, of course, The Red Dog Inn. There is a customer capacity of 1400 people with 25 waiters to quickly and efficiently serve them. Although there have been many changes made, one can still feel the atmosphere of the theatre that hosted the traveling Broadway stage productions. The splendor of elegance is seen in the five-foot chandelier which majestically overlooks the ballroom floor and marble-top bar which runs the entire length of the mezzanine.
From the spacious new polished floor one can look up fifty feet to the ceiling and then shift his vision to the seven-tier balcony. Each tier is dotted with new tables and chairs which overlook the stage. On the stage wings there is another area for people to enjoy the top entertainment at close range. The dancing area in the Red Dog Inn is, by far, the largest in Lawrence, and the entertainment is, by far, the best. This is the largest and most spectacular thing to hit the mid-American entertainment scene. Don't miss a single show this season-
