OF SEATS FOR “BEN-HUR” Seats for the Ensagement Wil Open at Boyd's Theater i \ "n s morning at 9 o'clock the advance syle of ‘seats for Klaw & Evlanger's production vof “Ben-Hur"' will gpen, at the box offive of Hoyd's theater and will continue until the close of the engagement. From pres- ent indications the gale will equal the f mous sale of last season, when all records for Omaha were broken and many ‘In- tending. patrons were unable to secure seats. The production this season is even larger and more complete than it was (n the occasion of its last. visit to this city. Klaw & Erlanger have now added a solo orchestra of twenty-four pleces. It was found that the short time avallable for re- hearsals in the various cities visited would not suffice and that in order to give a proper and perfect rendition of the music of the play a special orchestra. was an abso- lute necessity. This orchestra {8 made up _of members of the Bosten Symphony and the Philadelphia orchestras. -Another inno- vation is in the animal department. Three Siberlan camels have been imported by Klaw & Erlanger, the first of their kind in this country, and it-is hoped that they will do ‘better than their Asfatic brother: have done. The Aslatic camel is not strong enough to withstand the rigours of our climate, three of“thém' having dled since the original opening of the play. The Si- berlan camels now with the production ar- rived In New York the latter part of July, imported through the Hagenback agency, direct from Kiosk, Siberia.
