CURTAIN CALLS

curacy in scenic establishment, cos
tuning and effects.
At the Century Opera House next
season there will be seats for $125,
even though the same thing cannot
be said, as far as the managers know,
for any other theatre in the United
States, certainly not for any in New
York. The new rate is to apply to
the orchestra circle, it was announced
yesterday This section will become
much more important next season by
virtue of the remodeling of the house,
which will cost s150.000 before it is
done, and will increase the capacity
of the house from 2.100 to 3.100.
1.-THE new orchestra circle" said
Sargent Aborn yesterday in discuss
ing the change, will be more than
twice the size of the old one, and that
it will be one of the most desirable
locations is evident from the fact that
it includes the space formerly occu-
pied by the boxes, which were the
highest-priced seats in the house"

LYRIC

Every conceivable delight, coupled
with several names of unusual promi-
nence, helps to make the new bill at
Proetor's Lyric one of the best the
town has yet seen, whether in big or
small time vaudeville.
Elita Proctor Otis, with the best
company she has ever had with her,
is the particularly bright headline
feature of the bill, with a delightful
and breezy playlet called THE Store
Manager" Here her recognized
capabilities as a coincidence and
artistic are given full scope, and she
more than makes good. Loud APP
plause rewarded her sketch through
out its presentation. Miss Otis's ap-
pearance at the Lyric would he well
worth full week, though her stay
is only for the first part of this week.
ending with her performance tomor-
row night.
Another specially good feature of
the bill was Charles and Ada Latham
In a human little comedy called NO
body's Kid" 1t is just full of senti-
ment, and Is cleverly relieved by some
quick bits of wit and slang.
Ruby Raymond, Fred Heider and
Boys have a speedy little connection
of song, dance and humor that yes
terday's large audiences took to
eagerly. Miss Raymond is as pretty
and talented as ever. and her conn
panions are equally versatile.
Stevenson and Nugent, in a snappy
bit of conversational fun, livened up
things considerably, as did Harring-
tons and his well-trained dogs, Smith
and Corinne, in a classy musical and
singing NUMBER: Dolly Marshalls in a
dainty singing act, and the Latell
Brothers in a graceful posing and
athletic Offering make up the vaude-
vile end Of this attractive bill. The
Lyric seems to be quite cool, even on
the warmest days, and the size of the
audience well demonstrates this fact.

BULL MOOSE ID FRONT
PROBABLY WILL GET REPRE- SANITATION ON COUNTY
 ELECTION BOARDS.

Little Rock, July 13.-In all proba- bility there will be Bull Moose repre- sentation among the election commits sioners in several counties Wednes- day, when county election boards will be named The law provides that the minority party" shall have one mem- Der on each county board. The law does not say whether the state or the county shall be unit in determining the matter; and while the Republi- can party, as a whole secured larg- CT vote than the Bull Moose party in the state at the last election, the Bull Moose made stronger showing in 20 or more individual counties than did the regular Republicans. It is known that the Bull Moose will ask represen- tation on the boards, and from reliable authority, it is learned that state board members will probably recog- nize the county as a unit and give the Bull Moose representation where they exceeded the straight Republican vote
