At the cooking school class yester-
day, those attending expressed q
preference for the class to start at 4
p. m. instead of p. M, as originally
scheduled.
When The Times leased the Au-
citorium for this exposition this
paper was assured by the auditorium
management that the building would
be complete by Monday of last week.
Grand Opera is scheduled for the
Auditorium next Monday and it is
neces ssary to anchor the seats in the
balcony with electric drills, which
make considerable noise. The Times
does not wish to work hardship on
the Auditorium Company or its read
ers, who are opera patrons, so it was
decided to let the workmen continue
until 4 p. m, when the cooking
school can be conducted without dis
turbing noises.
Curtain Weight Broke.
The Times also wishes to apologize
for the necessity of calling off the
cooking school Monday. The Times
had the gas stove and other cooking
appliances erected on the stage az
announced, but weight broke on
the stage curtain. Raising the cur
tain without weight might have
endangered the lives of some of the
audience.
It was impossible to put on the
interesting motion pictures OF. South
America, or present the lecture ar
ranged through the courtesy of the
Dwinell-Wright Co., of Boston,
roasters Of White House coffee, in
the foyer rom az planned, as the
workmen on .the building found it
necessary to use this room. These
pictures, therefore, will be put on
the stage starting today This sched-
ule is announced in the page ad-
vertisement in today's paper, con.
tanning the complete program.
The Auditorium Company has an
nounced that it will give this news.
paper every cooperation to see that
the program goes through as sched-
uled, starting today. In opening up
a new building many little things
often go wrong at the last minute.
The Times wished to be the first to
Introduce the new. building to it's
readers, and as q result had to bear
the brunt Of the little things that
went wrong, over which this paper
of course had no control.
The program was presented in
good shape last night. The attend
ance was the largest yet. Both
floors were packed until closing
time.
Part-Pay Tickets Good.
Because of the interrupted pro-
gram, The Washington Times has
arranged to have the green, part-pay
admission tickets, which were only
good the first four nights, honored
at the Auditorium box office Thurs
day and Friday. For the benefit of
those who have used these tickets,
a coupon good for a 10-cent reduction
at the gate, is printed in the page
announcement in the paper today.
The crowd yesterday was so large
that it was considered advisable to
open another entrance on e street
today in addition to the main en-
tran nee on Nineteenth street. This
new entrance leads directly to the
second floor, where the furniture ex-
hibits and model rooms are located,
also the stage.
Through an error, mistake was
made yesterday in the name of the
coffee being served at the District !
Grocery Society booth. This is Gold
Bag Coffee, roasted exclusively for
these stores.
