The auditorium of the exposition has
a seating capacity of 5000 people. 1t
contains large pipe organ and stage
/ TO accommodate chorus and orchestra.
There are two entrances to the audi
forum, one from the exposition grounds
and one from the outside, so that any
one DESTROYS of attending a concert
without entering the grounds may be
privileged to do so. This feature is an
improvement over the plan at the
Worlds Fair at Chicago, where many
failed to attend the concerts. owing to
a double entrance fee.
The Bostonians have scattered for the
season, and when they reassemble to
open at Manhattan Beach, on Aug. 81,
there will be so many changes in the
old organization that it will scarcely
be recognizable. Alice Nielsen WILL of
course, head her own company, and
Eugene Cowles, who, by the way, has
just married the chorus girl with whom
he was seen so much in public while
here, will be Miss Nielsens principal
support. Jennie Hawley will be her
cOItralto, and Barnabee. Jessie Bartlett
Davis and Mcdonald will be the only
three of the old originals left in the
BOstonians. They, however, are a
tower of strength, and if Cowles' sub
Stitute is what is claimed for him, the
company will lose none of its old pres
tige. a great deal of attention will be
paid to Rob Roy and a new opera
which has just been contracted for, !
with we'll known composer, will be
produced during the season.

The astonishing way in which the /
standard actors are gravitating into
vaudeville, was never more forcibly |
illustrated than in the fact that ]. II.
Stoddart has just fallen in with the |
procession. This weeks Mirror says:
J. H. StOddart, the veteran actor, has /
had many tempting offers to enter vau-
deville and add his name to the al |
ready long list of actors and actresses |
who have found the continuous plan |
pleasant and profitable. 1t was report |
ed several times that he had accepted !
offers, but the rumors always turned |
out to be false. 1t remained for F. F. !
Proctor to make him an irresistible /
offer. and so Mr.. Stoddart, after many !
has finally consented to do |
two shows a day"
He will make his vaudeville debut |
at the Pleasure Palace on June 20, pre-
senting Benjamin Webster's one-act
play, Zone Touch of Nature in
which he has appeared hundreds of
times at the legitimate theatres with
great success.
His supporting company will be made
up OF Mduue hdIIlSOI, hyIOH CellCe
and Irving Chauncey, all of whom are
we'll known, and have been identified
with leading organizations.
There is no doubt that Mr.. StOddart
will make a big hit in vaudeville, as
the theatre goers of America, and es-
Decially OF New York, have a warm
spot in their hearts for the actor who
has entertained them for so many
years.
