AUDITORIUM FOR DRAMAS
stage Way ne Arransed to Admit Of
This Class OF Attrac-
tions.

The fact that the first dramatic attraction
at the Auditorium. in the person of Sarah
Bernhardt is to be in Omaha in February.
calls to mind that the board of directors OF
the Auditorium considered last summer a
plan for adapting the building to use Tor
dramatic events. The scheme was dropped
at the time on account of shortage of funds,
but it is said the board probably will re-
consider it this spring.
The plan was first advanced by Manager
Gillian. after an examination of audito-
ruins in other cities. Tie thought an adj
Unstable stage ought to be constructed,
which could be conveniently carried out and
stored away when not in use. This could
be placed about the middle of the Audito-
RUM where a prosCenium arch and
gridiron would have to be provided. From
the stage to the rear OF the building would
be "A space for the audience about as large
as that of an ordinary theater, the most
distant point of the gallery being close
enough that the words of the people on the
stage could he heard distinctly. IL Is
thought by Mr.. Gillian that such an ar
rangement would pay, as with it many
strictly dramatic entertainments would
come to the Auditorium, where now il is
in demand only for concerts, operas, fairs,
shows and roller skating. The Kansas City
Convention Hall has the temporary stage

DRUGGIST APPEALS HIS CASE
j. J. FreytaG Denies that Boy
Bought Liquor at His
store.

J. J. Freytag. druggist at 1914 North
Twenty-fourth street, was fined 800 and
costs i'm police court Wednesday morning
when arraigned on the charge of selling
liquor without making due registration Of
the sale. Through his attorney, Charles
Battelle, the defendant furnished an ap-
peal bond to take the case to the district
court.
The complaint against Freytag. sworn to
by Probation Officer Bernstein, charged the
druggist with selling liquor to a boy named
Alexander Siskind on January 20. without
registering the sale. The boy swore that
Mr. Hirsh, Freytag's clerk, made the sale,
while Mr.. Freytag and the clerk swore
they made no such sale. A bottle contain
ing brandy and bearing a label of the
Freytag store and a cash register check
were offered in evidence against the drug
gist.
An amusing incident occurred when Mr..
Bernstein was called on to sample the con-
tents Of the bottle and state to the court
what the bottle contained. Some of the
court attendants were in suspense for fear
the witness would fall down in his testi-
mony but Mr.. Bernstein promptly assured
the judge the bottle contained brandy OF
excellent proof.
