THE EXPOSITION 1S A WINNER| Auditorium Eaterpriss Opens Amid En- couraging Environments. BIG VAUDEVILLE PROGRAM IS RENDERED Pres Sanborn and Superinten dent Gillan Are Enthusinstic Over the Outlook—Atteadance A1l That Could e LCesired. The industrial exposition was ushered ioto life Monday night under the most fa« vorable auspices. The big building at Thir- teenth and Harney streets was transformed into a veritable mart of industry. Great crowds of people thronged the structure the entire evening. Exhibits of every con ceivable sort were attractively displayed Brilllant electric lights turned the n into day President Sanborn, E. E. Andrews man of the auditorium committee of pro motion, and Superintendent J. M. Gillan were highly pleased with the success of the opening night. The spontaneity with which chair. Omaha people turned out to view the ex position and by so doing indicate their hearty good will towar! the auditorium was alone enough to satisfy every member of the auditorium board of directors who bas had to do with the preliminary ar- rangements for the exposition Within the doors of the exposition hall marvelous changes had been wrought by Superintendent Gillan ana hid assistants in the few hours preceding the opening. Even though many of the exhibits were Bot in place there was an appearance of completeness that dissipated all indlca« tions of an unfinished task. Three and & half floors of the big building are covered with the various displays. They surround the sides and down the center booths are attractively arranged. Corridors between the side and center exhibits were con verted into promenades and t walked and walked, oft-times their steps and covering the same ground over which they had been, but always find- ing something new to attract their interest, retracing Vaudeville Program One of the mont Interesting features ol the evening was a vaudeville program, which began at 8 o'clock. A small stage, adequate to the demands, had been erected on the third floor and there were ample seating arrangements. The numbers on the program were all decidedly interesting and many in the audlence who had never witnessed a vaudeville entertalnment fin- dicated their keen enjoyment by hearty applause President Sanborn of the auditorfum di rectory was introduced by Charlie Stewart the stage manager. I hope no one will consider me as one of the performers ot the evening,’ said President Sanborn “While I have been sandwiched in between is Rendered, the vaudeville numbers, I must beg of you 0ot to mistake me for an actor. As pres- Ident of the Omaha Auditorium, however, | want 1o teil you our great pleasure at seeing so many people at our exposition tonight When the board of directors was formed 10 take charge of the auditorium project a committee was named, out of which has developed this industrial exposition. The plan was to solicit donations and cxhibits of different kinds from jobbers and manu- facturers in Omaha and the territciy cast of here. We have succeeded in gettiug be- tween 350 and 400 commendable exiibits— scme quite valuable and all aggregating a vory good value. The porceeds from this exposition will assist us materially in rafs- 1R funds for the auditorium without neces- ating the solicitation of stock subscrip- tions from Omaha people. We pripose 1o dispose of all these exhibits in some man- rer or other and we will adopt the unique insofar as it is possible in order that in- terest may be added to the exposition Heside the money-making featurc we want ‘¢ please and entertain all those whom we Ay be able to attract here ‘This project was born of the dusire to help toward the consummation of our idcal of an auditorium for Omaha. We believe that we can now see where we are going to succeed and be able to raise the amount that will be needed to carry tha work to a great success. We have now about $130 000 in cash and good subscriptions. What this feature will raise is more than we can tell—perhaps $10,000, pertaps twice that sum. We will be satisfied it it con- tlnues as successfully as it ias slariel this evening.” (a1} n i Enthusinstic, Superintendent J. M. Gillan said: “You have undoubtedly noted that this exposi- tion, like all others, is hardly in order a t. We have been rushing the work as pidly as possible. Much time had t) be spent in preparing the building for the reception of the exhibits and in order to make it presentable. ' Many of the ex- bibits are not yet in place, but we expect to have our work completed by the end of the week. * Let me say to you (hat when you controbute your dimes for admission 10 the exposition that many eastern manu- facturers have donated to us exhibits which in individual cases are valued as high as $1.600." The vaudeville program was arranged by Jake Rosenthal and one of the interesting features was the clever sketch preseuted by Mr. Rosenthal's brother, whose profe sional name is Lew Rose.

All that remains now, it is stated, Is for the bill to be engrossed and presented to the governor for his signature. This, it is understood, will be done at once.

Mrs. Lobingier spoke in favor of the club concentrating its efforts upon the club social settlement work. She said she did not believe the women realized how much they had already done along that line and thought that by co-operating with the churches and other organizations of the city that splendid results must follow. It WAS also suggested that the citizens of Omaha be asked for suggestions as (0 what the women might up. The next meeting will consider social set- tlement work as it may be directly applied st profitably ta to Omaha and it was declded that repre- sentatives of the following organizations be invited to be present: Central Labor unfon, Ministerial association, ®ducational institutions of the city, MuSigioa club and the committee of women of the Woman's club, to formulate the plans for the philan thropic work.

Mr. Wilson has surrounded himself with ove of the largest and most capable companies he has ever had, but even this cannot counterbalance the dullness of the book or the dryness of the score. There is little or practically | nothing in the music to charm the ear unless it be with the possible exception of the ensemble finales to acts one and 1vo and a couple of solo numbers In which more or less catchy harmony is noticeable at times 1t is no means the worst thing Mr. Wilson has done, nor is it Ly any means the best. In it Wilson is not Booloboom, the merchant of Malabar, Lut the same Wilson of Erminie days, with the same clean-cut, legitimate comedy meth- ods, which never fail to produce hear laughter and pleuty of it The production {s one of the most clab- orate that has been seen in the city during the present season.

The girls are pretty in face and shapely in figure and help form any num- ber of beautiful stage pictures, which are teature of the opera In Marie Celeste, new leading lady, Mr. Wilson has a most promising Young woman. She has a well modulated soprano voice of splendid quality and which shows careful training. Besides she Is the pos- sessor of an attractive personality.

It may surprise you to know that, while the collections for this district are from $3,000,000 to $3,500,000 a year, only about $250,000 is collected fronf the two Da- kotas combined.
