AMUSEMENTS.
The Grand.


Half week seasons has been the rule al
the Grand for several weeks. This ha:
been owing to the fact that number OF
combinations have cancelled the dates, sc
leaving the house vacant half the time.
The attraction the past week has been that
OF Evan Bryant & Hoey's "Meteors.'
who beg on Thursday one of the most
enjoyable 1 refreshing vaudeville enter
tainm6nt@ y ich it has been the good for
tame of fun owing Minneapolitans to wit
ness and 10 listen To for some time. The
frolicking, hilarious specialties which com
prise the first half OF the entertainment
worried the large audiences, which greeted
the " Meteers" II each appearance, into the
very beet humor possible. The curtain re-
mains up until the finish of the last act
an innovation which keeps every one in
continuous laughter, and gives them no
breathing spell.
Ed. and Mand Warner opened the ball
in musical selections coupled by funny
little by play. James Hoey does a black
face speciality act which as pretty tart, and
at times somewhat disgusting, especially
when he gTuubled because the audience
failed TO gppr9cIate soma of his hits, or
gags. The French twin sisters who visited
Minneapolis q year or more ago
with the Tony Pastor com
blnation gave their celebrated song and
dance specaIties; c.. III. Bryant and VIM.
Hoey are clever musicians and performed
upon diverse lot Of Instruments, embel-
lished with little IAughable sketch; one of
the most attractive features of the enter
tainment was the fancy skating Of the
Fletcher trio. The engagement closes with
the comedy farce, TIE Book Agent"
which give William Hoey and Charles
Evans especial opportunity to exhibit
their particular business.

The sale of seats which opened on Fri
day, evidence the fact That the reception of
this really tirst-class opera company must
partake largely of the element of an ova-
ton. For Wednesday evening, when Miss
Burton will appear in tights-prstty
blue--that portion of the auditorium
usually designated by the significant
phraseology, 'bGld headod row." the seats
are already mostly all sold. By this, how
ever, it is not meant to imply that these
seats would be vacant OF any other night.
When the Ideals appeared here year ago
long dresses or lose fitting pantaloons
seemed to be the prevailing. costumes.
