ADAMS ID SELL
 ELKS BOX SEATS
Will Hold Auction Tonight in the Lobby of His Hotel, Disposing of the Best Sittings For Brown of Harvard.

Taking a long chance on being ar
 rested for practicinG without having
 paid an auctioneer's city license tax, j. C. Adams. proprietor of the Hotel Adams and one of the Starr.est stars in the Elks Brown of Harvard local talent company. will this evening turn the lobby of his public abiding place into an auction shop and sell full line of the best box seats ever offered for an attraction at the Eks thpater The auction will begin promptly at 30 o'clock and every box in the Elks hea- ter will be sold three times each before the sale concludes if it takes all night. l As an opener Mine Host Adams who l is known the Elks stage as Prof l Jones Smythe, will dispose of the boxes l for the inst right Now the opening night comes on "Wednesday and the.e
 are scores of people just so nervous for
 fear they will not be able to tell their i children and grandchildren that they were among the first nighters'' at the l play destined to become historic that they have been thinking of little else i for days and days. And that is why q record price is likely to be offered for ] the first night boxes.
 | Of course q box is q box whether it
 is used on the opening night or on some other night So there is certain to he
 a good demand for the second night.
 some people believe tha, wi,n Il Icc;,l
 talent show the second night is usuallv
 better than the initial production. There is q finish. they say, not pos sible when [ show is given for the first
 time in public. Tie management dis claims this in the case of Brown of Harvard' for it is said that the show couldn't be better staged or played than il will be upo.- the opening night not if the east worked for d thousand years.
 And the third and last night is going to witness a great big demand because there are going to be q lot of people who had an impression that all local talent plays are the same and will put it off until they have heard the iudg ment of hundreds of others who arc bound to be pleased II is even safe to predict that there will be d scram- ble for the seats of the closing night for not a few who saw the show on the ! second sitting.
 IT J. (. Adams. whose success as IT actor is already assured. cannot auc- ton those box seats there isn't another man in Phoenix who can. He'll just compel the sale and it is likely that the highest prices on record for the Elks
 theater will be secured. All amounts
 in excess of $50 per seat must be ac- companied by cash to the amount O. l 100 per cent Six months time in jai will be given for the balance.
 While the auction sale of the boa [ seats at the Adams tonight and th. I opening of the general seat sale at tht Central Drug store this morning a~t among the most important live topics
