It has been built under the immediate supervision of Major-General Bell, who has given freely of his time and thought to make it the extraordinary success which it is.

I refer to the wonderful amphitheatre which stands at the side of the official residence of the major-general commanding the Division of the Philippines.

Advantage has been taken of the existence of a natural amphitheatre with remarkable acoustic properties.

Man has added what Nature left undone, and the result is an imposing and beautiful auditorium capable of seating four thousand people, throughout which a whisper can be heard.

It is utilized for religious services, concerts, lectures, theatrical performances and other public entertainments.
