1t is interesting to note what variety
of advertising will be represented in the
above list. There are few instances of
! rival firms appearing in the same even
| ing but not in the way of contest on
| any particular lines of goods. There is
an air of mystery about. each firm
| show. Every firm feels as though it
would like to leave to the evening Of the
entertainment, considerable uncertainty
as to what it intends doing. Considerable
| gray matter viii be expended in making
up topical songs, of which some firms
are making a speciality. Some OF the
firms have expressed some nervousness
as to whether the time allowed fol. each
Jstunt-four nninutes-wi1l be long enough
| to make proper display. The commit
tee has met this in all cases with the
/ reply that if they don't get through the
curtain win be rung down in the midst
of their exhibition.
| The necessity of having a frst-class
stage manager is apparent to the execu-
tive committee, and they hope to find
] just the right man. The committee has
also in mind the thought that while the
drop curtain is down there should be
some surprises introduced, so no time
will be lost during the entire perform
ance. This will be partly stereopticon,
but there will be music as well.
| Several of the firms are putting con-
siderable money into their displays and
their names are a guarantee of the char
acter of the entertainment they will pro-
vide.
1 The question of tickets has come up
and had it's share of attention. 1t can
now be said authoritatively that the
| general price of admission to all parts of
the house will be 81.
A meeting of the committee will be
held this morning in the office of Alex
ander & Baldwin. The committee desires
to deprecate the charity idea as to the
advertisers. The committee feels that
the business opportunity is such a good
one in view of the audience that is bound
| to be present that the sum of SIS from
each firm has been none too great.
