. Opening of the Jefferaon

some patrons of the theater seem to have trouble in finding just where the sale of seats for ''The Christian is taking place. The sale Is being conducted at the box office of O'Brien's opera house and will con- tinue there until tomorrow night at 5 o'clock After that all sales will take at the new theater. The interest in the opening of this magnificent play house continues. All day Sunday and yesterday crowds were constantly endeavoring to obtain admis- sion. The pressure became so great that it was finally found necessary to refuse ad-
 mission to every one excepting the persons
 actually employed upon the work To one
 unacquainted with theatrical affairs it would appear as if the opening was a long
 way off yet, but the workmen engaged in
 the various departments have everything fully mapped out and there is absolutely no
 chance of anything being left undone to
 make the occasion one long to be remem- bered
 The assertion is made by the manag cement
 that twenty-four out of twenty-five theaters
 are opened up not nearly as complete as Is
 the Jefferson.
 That the public is fully alive to the inn
 portance of the engagement is fully proven
 by the interest manifested to obtain seats. For over three hours yesterday Ed Mackey, Jr, the treasurer of the house, was con- stantly busy disposing of seats The rumor, however, that has gotten out that all the seats in the house were taken Is entirely an erroneous one. The sale Is large enough to completely fill O'Brien,s, but ,the Jeffer- son Is a much larger theater and can aac- commodate more people There are still a
 few very, choice seats left for the opening perforillance. fi
