Next Tuesday and Wednesday Haverly's
Ministries will appear. This company, man
aged by Fred E. Wright, is large troupe, 45
artists, including the wonderful Cragg Fam
lily. AS the Louisville Courier-Journal
said in recent criticism:
'There must be deal of good in
Jack Hayerly's heart, and deal of brains
in his head" His constant study to crafty
the ever changing public taste is a herculean
labor, and yet Haverly seems to enjoy 1t
with the best of much easier work. That
we are to have the famous minstrels here
soon is pleasant announcement to make.

Hans Won Bulow is getting more eccentric
every day. On his last concert tour he
walked off the stage and refusen to play a
note until four ugly women as he charac--
terized them, in the audience were removed
from his sight. The manager compromised
by putting up palms and shrubs so as to con-
ceal the four monsters of ugliness" another
complimentary title given by Herr. Won Bu-
low from the eyes of the capricious cop1-
poser.
