' This morning at 9' o'clock the advance sale
of seats for Klaw & Krianger a proauouan
At "Ben-Hur" will ope, at the box qftjue
of Boyd's theater and will continue until
tho close of the engagement. From pres
ent indications the sale will equal the f i-
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 eason Is even
larger and more complete than It was tn
the occasion ot Its last visit to this city.
Klaw & Erlanger have now added a solo
orchestra of twenty-four pieces. It was
found that the short time available for re
hearsuls 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 is made up
of members of the .Boston Symphony and
the Philadelphia orchestras. Another Inno
vation is in the animal department. Three
Siberian camels have been imported by
Klaw lc Erlanger, the first of their kind
in, this country, and It' Is hoped . that they
will do better than their ' Asiatic brothers
have dona. The Ablatio camel is not strong
enough to withstand the rigours of our
climate three of them having died since
the original opening of the play. The Si
berian camels now with the production ar
rived In New Turk the latter part of July,
Imported through tho Hagenback agenc,
direct from Kiosk, Siberia. - .
