May Hinton.
All arrangements are made to make to-
nights production at the Auditorium the
most beautiful and elaborate affair of
its kind ever given in the west. The
first part of the program is to be on the
order of an operate vaudeville, a style
Of program never attempted here before.
The famous Torreador scene from the

with MIR. Harry McClung in the princi-
pal role. Mr.. Meetings. voice is an
ideal one for the part and with the as
sistance of the chorus and orchestra the
number equals those of our best opera
companies.
Too much cannot be said of the scene
from THE Runaway Girl" given in cos
tune by thirty-two young ladies from
the high school and the Wichita Apollo
club. The costumes and music are both
beautiful. catchy and strictly UP TO date
while the comedy work never lags. This
number no doubt will gain more favor
than any other Of the program.
Mr.. Fritz HUFFMAN, just returning
from most successful musical trip east
Will furnish the songs for the stereop-
toscope. one of the newest of picture
machines. Caroline Medlon Robinson,
the dramatic soprano from Minneapolis,
Mimi, and Eta Goode Heacock con-
tralto, both arrived last evening and are
in fine voice for tonight's work Mrs
Robinson comes with fresh laurels from
her European trip, having gained the
highest honors at the Paris Conserva-
tory. Mrs. Heacock, the contralto, ap-
peared at the coronation last year and
became at once everybody's favorite.
Her appearance is looked forward to es-
pecially by the musical people.
Ralph Dunbar will appear in a cello
solo.
Pryor's band arrive this morning and
will put in the entire day at the Audi
torium rehearsing. The band is undoubt-
of its size, having led the Yelled Pro-
phets' parade at st. Louis for five con-
secutive seasons, besides prominent en-
gagements at all of the large expositions.
The public will have a full view of the
Auditorium stage from every seat in the
house, as It has been enlarged in every
respect.
The most novel and striking feature of
the coronation scene will be the abdi-
cation of the throne by last years queen.
Miss Mayme Mahaney. She will be at
tended by her entire retinue OF last year
The celebration will begin promptly at
o'clock. The advance sale Of the seats
for the coronation is without precedent
in the city. Early yesterday there was
not a desirable seat left in the Auditor
ium. and it is predicted that by tonight
standing room will be at a premium.
without any doubt no coronation scene
in Kansas or the west will equal that OF
tonight, owing to the fact that the mu-
siclans are the best that can be secured.
The different parts Of the program have
been selected on account of their being
exactly appropriate for the event. Mr..
Ralph Dunbar has worked with untirinE
energy totmake all arrangements neces-
sary for the first event Of Wichta's week
of festivities such as she has never wit
messed before this time.
