A temporary box office, never before used except on the occasion when Oscar Hammer- stein's Opera Company Bang "Salome," will be installed In the lobby of the Manhattan Opera House, Monday, Nov. 4, when the seat sale for the big Drury Lane melodrama, "The Whip," will open. The reason for the Installation of the temporary box office la to prevent confusion and Interference with tho Bothern and Marlowe advance sale, In prog- ress at the regular box olBce, and of unusual proportions. Mr. Hammersteln Used the emergency box office la the same way, de- voting It exclusively to the sale of scats for "Salome" during the progress of the rou- tine season sale at the regular window. It has been stored away with many other sou- venirs of the Manhattan's former operatic ?lory until tbe present emergency neccssl- ated Its return to activity. 4 «» "BACHELORS AND BENEDICTS."

These plays were acted at popular prices. 4»» "LITTLE WOMEN" HAY MOVE. If Grace George's new play Is a success, it will be brought Into New York almost im- mediately. As Miss George Insists that all of her metropolitan engagements shall be played at her husband's pet theatre (The Playhouse), "Little Women" must therefore find a new home.
