distinctly new policy will go into
operation. While smoking has here
tofore been permitted in all por-
tinns OF the auditorium, this priv

the boxes and upper floors only.
This change came only after a
thorough study of the question by
Manager Harry o. JaTboe, followed
by a conference with the officials of
the Columbia Burlesque Associa-
tion. II Is realized that the new
policy will deprive some OF the oc-
cupants Of the orchestra chairs of
