OUR AMUSEMENTS.

and Guaranteeing Superior Order Of
entertainments for the Coming Season.
Parties in st. Paul who remember Mr..
Haverly when he first came among US as the
nervous, active manager Of Cal Wagner's
minstrels, did not dream that another decade
would bring about such wondrous change
IN his status. For every year there appears
on the theatrical scene new manager.
Sometimes they develop special adaptation
to the business and become recognized as
careful. honorable and successful directors
OF amusements. But such an one is excep-
tional. Mr.. Haverly is particularly notice
able as remarkable exception. He followed
his business with varying success financially
for fifteen years at least, some seasons gaining
money, others making him richer only in
experience. Within the past three years,
however, Mr.. HaverlY has made prodigous
strides in the theatric field until now he
stands confessedly the most successful and
best known caterer to the amusement going
public in the United States.
What z. I. Barnum is to the tent and
magic ring of the circus, Mr.. Haverly is to
the footlight and mise en- scene of the thea
tire. His career exemplifies the virtue of the
old saw which says "the shoemaker should
stick to his last" His untiring interest
IN and his honest devotion to
his business are perhaps the
key notes to his prosperous career. He is at
present the owner and sole manager of
Haverlys theater, Chicago; Haverly's theater,
New York, corner Fourteenth street and
Sixth avenue. Haverly's Mastodon minstrels,
Haverly's Georgia minstrels, Haverly 8
Church Choir Pinafore company. The new
Brook theater will be operated by him,
and what is more to the purpose as far as
the Northwest is concerned, Mr.. Haverly
contemplates circuit which will embrace
the cities of Milwaukee, Madison, Saint
Paul and Minneapolis. With a theater in
each one of the four cities named, Mr..
Haverly will be able to engage
attractions in New York with
especial reference to this circuit, IN addition
to season at his own theatre in Chicago.
This will afford us what we really need and
what we seldom get-thoroughly first class
entertainment. Parties come up here like
Richard Ill. came into the world, "scarce
half made up" They have imposed upon
thes public until, now, absolute excellence
must be guaranteed before our citizens will
accord any encouragement.
The unqualified satisfaction given by
HaverlySs Mastodons, coupled with the
unexampled Jurore created by his Chi
cagO Church Choir PlnafOre COMPANY
has so strengthened the looming
MANS name in this city that hereafter his
name alone will be sufficient guarantee as
to the merit of whatever entertainment he
may offer. The opening house will always
be great and then the performance itself
must do the rest. The engagement Just
closed by the Pinafore company affords a
cue from which Mr.. Haverly can always
play in st. Paul. The company more than
realized expectation and mark the result
The houses have increased nightly and the
matinee was the very largest ever known in
this city.
This result assures US that
Mr. Haverly exceeds promise il
indeed the Mastodons had not already firmly
established that fact, and therefore it may
be reiterated with emphasis that hereafter
the Young managers name will be the only
assurance needed in Saint Paul. Mr.. Hay
erly is at present in New York, and Mr..
Davis. his right hand man, who organized
aud is at present commander of the Church
Choir party, is in receipt of intelligence from
bis chief announcing important engagements
for Mr.. Haverly's different theatres, EN-.
tracing such first class attractions as He1
Majesty's opera, Salvini, Barry Sullivan
Gilbert and Sulllvan's new opera by an
English company, and possibly Carl Rosa'e
new English opera company. Saint Paul
has already shown her appreciation, SO come
along Manager Haverly, you will find us
staunch and true.
