NEW TEMPLE THEATER.
New 8cenery to Be Used First In "You
Never Can Tell."
Hitherto performances 'in the Totn

capped by the absence of a curtain Jor
the stage of appropriate scenery, for
all that has broken tho background of
barq brick walls has bqen some old
scenery from tho auditorium. During
tho past two weeks, however, tho Dra
matic Club has been having two fine
sets of scenery made which will bo
used first for their play "You Never
Can Tell 'on January 18th, taid later1
for other productions.
Thoy have had tho scenery mado
through J. M. Miller, manager of tho
Lyric and Majestic Theaters. Mr. Mil
ler has alBo contracted to arratige tho
whole stage, includlng,.the loft and fly
galleries, so as to make it as up-to-date
as, any modern theartor. He will also
arrange for extra sets of rigging,, a
grand drapery to flt theJorraentorsWn
front, the borders, and put' In two ex
tra sots of border lights,- so thaUas
many as six complete sets of scenery
could To oaslly handled. :
The scenery Ts being painted by Mr.
Ray Clifton of Chicago, and will bo aB
fine as is Been In any theater" In Lin
coln. The Indoor Bothns. enough-pieced
to make -soyeraf different scenes tho
outdoor sot represents the veranda or
terrace of a marine hotel with a sea
drop in tho background. Mr. Clifton
has also painted four wood wings to bo
used in future settings.
To fit in with this excellent scenery,
the University has just hung a beauti
ful set of crimson plush curtains which
draw back from the center of tho
stage. This curtain is very much more
artl8tcjhan-an ordinary drop curtain.
It Is what most of the leading stars
carry with them for their particular
plays, and when-tho other curtains for
the doors and windows aro put up, will
greatly add to the attraction of tho
