The Bergers


Gave AN excellent performance at Ban.
croft Hall last week which was thor.
oughly enjoyed by an audience which
comfortably filed the hall. The enter
tainmcnt was of the higher variety order,
and consisted of an orchestral overture,
cornet, saxophone and xylophone solos.
two very fine vocal numbers by the
prima donna. Miss Cora Ferris, charac-
ter songs by Mr.. Chas. H. Duncan, and
a performance by Mr., Brewster, the
prince of ventriloquial humor, with his
family of 'block-heads," which brought
down the house, and far excelled
any thing of the kind ever presented TO
an Emporia audience. The performance
of Miss Eta Morgan. on the saxophone,
and the cornet solo 10y Mr.. HolbrOok,
were received with great favor, and the
bell duet by Miss Morgan and Mr.. Der.
ger was thoroughly enjoyed. Miss
Ferris while not first class artist. is
nevertheless quite pleasing singer, and
her renditioHs clicted gratifying evidenc-
es of acceptance at the hands of the au-
dience. The performance throughout
was thoroughly meritorious, and was OF
such - character as 10 fully sustain The

AMER Onr city Dad.

Mr. Berger, the manager of the enter.
tainmcnt at Bancroft hall Wednesday
evening, sought an interview with the
writer on Thursday morning, and
desired THE News to state that he con-
sidercd himself as having been subjected
To such treatment in Emporia as to
preclude tho possibility of his return TO
our city under the present regulations
regarding amusements. Mr. Berger's
grievance is that instead of demanding
money license, which he expected 10
pay, the city council, TO use his own Ian
guage "extorted" the equivalent of the
usual fec in tickets, style Of business
To which he wishes to thus enter his
protest. He regards the public as his
patrons, and declares that he will not
again submit TO an arrangement which
renders the tickets TO his performances a
commodity which can be traded in for
the individual benefit of councilmen and
to the prejudice of the municipal treas
ury. We give Mr.. Berger the benefit of
his position and submit the case TO the
public for their verdict.
