Electrics Become
More Popular Each
Succeeding Year
New Styles Will Be Shown at the
Coming Exhibit at the

Gasoline may be king At the coming Auto
show az the Omaha Auditorium, owing to
force OF numbers. but popular in its par
ticular line is the electric, which Is enjoy

II Is estimated that over 100 electric
pleasure cars arc driven in this city, mostly.

perhaps Is more fitted to their needs than

LONDON THEATERs.
The Historic Pit That Is Fenced on
From the Stalls.

The Historic Pit That Is Fenced on
From the Stalls.
In the orchestra of London theater
there are only eight or ten rows Of
stalls. and Immediately behind them Is
the pit, which Is walled off : bar
rier or fence that stretches clear acroS
the theatcr. In the pit there are no
individual seats--merely rows Of long
benches on which the people sit rather
closely together.
II is. of course. impossible to reserve
seats In advance. and people who are
going to the pit have TO come carly on
the evening of the performance In or
der 10 secure the best places.
Hence In the case of popular play
n long queue of people may be seon at
o'clock stretching from the pit door
all along the sidewalk. waiting for the
house TO open. They keep their places
very patiently In line, united by n COM
mon mood OF pleasurable anticipation.
One manager awhile ago made the
experiment of selling reserved seats In
the pit at the usual price. but to this
the pit people objected strenuously on
the ground that they could seldom
know In advance just when they would
find themselves possessed of that hap
by combination of money and an even.
ing OFF which would permit of theater
going and preferred TO take their
chances waiting In line when the for
tunate opportunity arrived.

In the stalls costs half guinea Tor ap-

costs only two and six Tor approx
mately 60 cents, aud the play can be
seen very nearly as well.
In the pit the same program that 10
sold in the stalls for slxpence is sold
for twopence. and the pit has n re-
freshment bar Of it's own which Is
cheaper than the main bar of the thea
