THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: JANUARY 21, 1917. 7 A' M'CORMACK SALE SETS NEW RECORD Number of Paid Admissions to the Auditorium Tuesday to Be Largest, Ever. POPULAR TENOR WHO SINGS ! HERE TUESDAY. i SEATS PUT ON THE STAGE The unprecedented demand for seats for the John McCormack con cert Tuesday evening has established a new record for paid admissions to the Auditorium. St great is the demand that the lo cal management with Mr. Franke, manager of the Auditorium, have been compelled to make extra seating ar rangements to accommodate those who have determined to hear Mr. Mc Cormack. In order to accomplish this the boxes which have always been located on the sides back under the balcony have been moved forward to the stage, thereby providing space for over 500 additional seats and in accomplishing this the regular seating arrangement has not been affected in the least, other than that scats have been placed in the space in front of the stage usually occupied by the orchestra. i Seats on Stage. Arrangements have also been made for a -limited number of scats on the stage. There will not be a seat in the entire building but from which one can sec and hear. The side strips on the stage have been moved back so that this will be possible. The previous scat sale record of the Auditorium was for the Ellis Opera company in "Carmen," which was the first number of the retailers' course, when over 5,200 'witnessed the per formance. That record is already ex ceeded, to say nothing about extra seats made possible by moving the boxes and with those on the stage, which are now on sale at the Audi torium box omce. The program is as follows: (m Aria; "O Sleep Why Dost Thou Leave nier' ., Handel 1! J' v I V - l s V J I LODGE ROOM NEWS OF GREATER OMAHA!
