Coming Attractions by the Score What They Are and When They Appear Green Eoom Gossip. A great transformation has been worked in the Interior of the Ragsdale opera bouse. For several months past artists have been engaged In beautify ing the walls and ceilings of the audi ence room and halls. They have at last put the finishing touches to the work, and on next Monday evening the doors of the theatre will be thrown open to the public for the first time this season. A Republican reporter visited the opeia house yesterday afternoon and viewed the decorations at his leisure.

The most prominent figure is that of Shakespeare, which occupies a position immediately above the proscenium opening. The figures of the great masters Beethoven, Schiller, Goethe and Mozart are artistically grouped en the ceiling. Beautiful panel pieces, representing the Goddess of Music and the Goddess of Terpsichore, adorn the sides of the proscenium opening. Of the general decorations it is impossible to convey a correct idea of design or arrangement The work is done in the highest style of the art. Nothing was overlooked and money was used without stint to make this bijou what it is the finest in all Kansas.

A slight but wise change has been made in moving the parquet railing three rows further front, giving much more room in the circle. Ten pieces of new scenery have also been put in. Manager Johnson has added a con venience for himself and the patrons of the house in the shape of house chart, consisting of a board on which the plan of the house is drawn. Each seat is represented by a slot In the board large enough to admit a ticket The slots are filled with numbeted tickets, which when sold are taken from the slots, of corresponcVnff num bers. A vacant slot indicates that the seat is sold.

No mistakes can occur and tedious waits at the box office will be a thing of the past. Coming Attractions. The Republican presents below a list of coming attractions now booked with the By reference to the list it will be seen that not a few good companies are among the number, whose advent will be hailed with pleas ure by our amusing-loving people.
