No Admission During n Number.
Chairman VIM. A. Billy, of the local !
committee, stated today that he had
been requested by the committee to
advise the patrons of the little SYM
phony'' concerts in Topeka that in the
future the regular rule of allowing no
admissions during the rendition of
number would be strictly enforced
This ruling was not adhered to at
the first concert, on account of the
short time and rush in the arrange
ment for the concert, but now thatI
matters have settled down to normal
conditions this rule will be strictly en-
forced.
The afternoon concert will start at
$3.50 O'Clock, while the evening con-
cert will start at S:15 o'clock. Mr..
Biby suggests that patrons arriving
after those hours use the side en-
frances to the auditorium building as
there are Hobbies on both sides suffi-
GENTLY large for the patrons to be pro-
tected from the cold during the few
minutes which they will be compelled
10 wait il a number is being rendered
at the time of their arrival.
The committee also asked Mr. Billy
10 congratulate the patrons Of the first
concert for the splendid manner in
which the parents accompanied by
small children kept the interruptions
from this source down to the mini
num-. and the committee most kindly
request the continued cooperation of
the parents N this particular, at the
same time kindly requesting that
small children be not allowed to run
about the aisles at any time and that
parents retire to the rooms provided
for that purpose during the period
that child is fretful to an extent that
disturbs those about them. All of
which requests are being made with
the single idea of providing as per-
feet a situation as il is possible to
create that the thousands present may
enjoy the spendid programs arranged
in n full measure without disturb
8nces which can be avoided by each
patron doing their part to protect the
situation generally.
Tickets All Sold.
The committee advise that season
tickets for both the afternoon and
series are entirely sold out and they
iitional tickets. but that as there IS
always a certain percentage of season
icket holders who find it impossible
o be present there will no doubt be
;ome additional seating capacity
treated in this manner, and those who
rave not procured season tickets and
iesire TO attend can in all probability
- accommodated thru the purchase
Il single admission tickets at the box
