be noticed. For the convenience Of the
patrons Of the house. Manager Burgess has
removed the box once from the west to
the east side Of the lobby. This will allow
the room that has been used for the box
ofhce to be devoted to the uses of the public.

put II TO. The telephone will not be re-
moved, and every convenience for the ac-

the meantime the old smoking room at the
east side OF the auditorium 10 still open.
From the new box once Treasurer Eddie
Monaghan's face viii smile on a host OF
friends limited only by the number Of
patrons Of the house. It was planned by
Messrs. woodward & Burgess that Mr..
Monaghan should go to Kansas City on the
opening Of the new Willis Wood theater
there to be treasurer, but after the years
delay in the opening the managerial firm
determined that It would be more expedient
to place J. W. Scott in charge of the box
ONCE at the new theater. Mr.. Scott was
very popular in Omaha, and will be greatly
missed, but his successor is equally we'll
known and liked. He has been Mr.. SCOTS
assistant for several years, and his advance
to full charge OF the box once has brought
him many congratulations.
Mr.. Burgess vent to Kansas City on
Thursday to assist In final preparations for
the opening Of the new Willis Wood theater
on Monday night. This event was nrst set
for October /. 1901. but the builder decided
to make some slight alterations in the
structure. and has accordingly spent 500. 900
more than he originally Intended in order
to give to Kansas City the finest theater
building In the west. Al FIRST It was the
plan to cali It the Baltimore, but on reIec-
tlon the lessees decided that no litter title
could be given the magnificent Thespian
temple than that OF its owner. and for him
It was named. Kansas City is locally very
much interested in the opening. 30 much

restored to it's original brightness. Dark
