Aa has been previously announced the city officials, headed by Mayor Will lama, will occupy boxes with, their re spective families and parties, and th remaining boxea and logea are selling very rapidly. Thoe who desire aeatj for this particular night should ae cure them early and avoid any disap pointment. Every detail la carefully looked aftei In the construction of the house. Th-J gridiron la 05 feot above the- atage floo" and the details of the electric light sys tem are much more complete than tn the average house. As so many high priced acta depend for their scenic ef fect upon the lighting facilities, this point la especially Important. Such an act for instance aa I.ole Fuller's' Are dance, and Indeed, any of liar dance, la practically valueless without elabor ate and complete arrnngemepta for throwing light where needed and then only. As far as the audience will be con cerned, the house hns no criticism to fear. From even "eat or chair in the theatre -a practically perfect view of the atage may be obtained, and the walla and ceilings have been .no constructed that the sound of the performers' voices when singing of speaking will be car ried in full'vblume to every corner, of the house. This also la a matter too frequently Illy attended to. Among the performers who will grace the opening program is 1-Jttle Bloaaoni, a pretty comedienne, who waa last sea son tho star of Irwin's big extrava ganza company in the East. Thia lead ing lady decided to get married In De troit, and the management of the ex travaganxa company, loth to lose her services, resorted to the courts, and even after the ceremony was performed made frantic endeavors to have It set aside. Aided by sympathetic newapa pera, I,lttle Blossom emerged from tha matrimonial t rouble triumphant and lit sole and undisputed possession of her husband. Lester and Curtain, a pair of acrobats, whose work has never been surpassed In Portland, will appear on the program toward ta end of the bill, as befits their merit- For the past year thia teiraof performers has been playing In the Keith and Proctc houses In New York.
