There was meeting of the housewarm-
| ing executive committee Thursday to
consider details connected with the forth
coming housewarming of the new tenn
pie. Chairman Frank Gibson of the en-
tertainment committee rather startled his
conferes with his report. but when he
had concluded it was declared he knew
what he was about and authority to go
ahead was given. DR.. Gibson said he
was not prepared just now to tell how
| he startled the executive committee but
| 1t is understood his program contains
| the names of some of the finest profess
sional talent In the country. The present
| intention is to give three shows each
| evening in the upper auditorium, each
| lasting about an hour and a half so as
| to enable every one who desires 1t to see
| what is going on. 1t Is also proposed to
| rope the Enclosure within the big pillars
of the great auditorium for dancing, thus
| leaving space on the outside for prom
enade and the service of refreshments.
| The galleries will also be reserved for
| that purpose. Chairman wilson or the
general and executive committees says he
| feels sanguine of the complete success of
! the proposed housewarming, and he hopes
| to have a great surprise for the craft in
the results obtained In the matter of
everything is moving along nicely and
| there Is no Indication of friction in any
| quarter; in fact, the cooperation given
| the committees is splendid. and indicates
leave no stone unturned to make the
| housewarming what all want TO nave II,
