Wyoming" will be held at the 1,000-seat Palace<br />
and 500-seat Broad, both owned by Leo<br />

as it has never celebrated before. The<br />
program, in fact, will get under way almost<br />
a week before the premiere with the selection<br />
of a "world premiere queen" but the real<br />
celebration will not move under full steam<br />
until Saturday (22). On that day Boy Scouts,<br />

bands will parade as a preliminary to a soapbox<br />

Forty derbyists will compete. That night<br />
the queen will be crowned in ceremonies to<br />
be climaxed by a fireworks display. The<br />
queen and her two escorts will be chosen in<br />
