Lewis. and Miss Rehan. The

June 2S and 20 and give matinee on
the goth. The bill will be changed for

1.-THE MASCOTTE."
Monday evening will be inaugurated
the fifth week of the summer season of
opera given by the Wilbur Opera COM
pany at Harris Hennepin Avenue the
ater, and the prospects are that the
week will eclipse all the previous ones.
The advance sale is already large, and
the people are coming i'll from all
the smaller neighborIng towns and st.
Paul to witness the delightful perform
ance as given by this troupe.
The opera to be presented is Audran's
funniest of all comic operas, 1.-THE
Mascotte." 1t is the most humorous
and tuneful work of this famous
composer, and has been given
oftener than any other opera written,
not excepting The Mikado." Late is
sues of Cincinnati and Philadelphia
papers pronounce ''The Mascot, as the
Wilbur company'S greatest production,
and the Louisville Courler-Journal con-
cludes its criticism of the performance
by saying: "The rendition was the best
the company has given here. The cos
tuning of the opera is most brilliant,
the cast most fitting, and evidently the
company best enjoys this of the entire
repertoire. All did admirably, and the
great audience left with the very high
est appreciation of the cOmpany's abil-
ity."
I 1.-THE PATHFINDERS."
I oRentfrow's Musical Comedy COM
pany, called ''The Jolly Pathfnders,"

inee. the roaring sketch comedy
'ssBelow Zero" with it's specialties,
songs and dances, will be the attrac-
ton. Thursday the programme will be
titled The Fast Mail' will run the
rest of the week. This combination of
funny people has been successful for
many years.
( The Stuart company closes its two
weeks engagement this evening with

|: Jennie ONeil Potter, the Minneapo-
lis reader, who made quite hit before

SHAKEsPEARIAN REC1TALS.
Hannibal A. Williams, we'll known
New York Shakespearlan scholar and
elocutionist, has arranged to give
ian recitals at Dyer'S hall, the first of
which occurred last evening, when
'Julius Caesar" was reviewed. Tuesday
evening the play considered will be
''The Tanning Of the Shrew," and
Wednesday evening "Othello."
THE GRAND RENIODELED.
After the notable DAILY engagement at
the Grand Opera, that place OF amuse-
ment will be turned over to John S.
Bradstreet, the famous decorator and
designer. Mr.. Bradstreet has been
given the sum of $4,000 with which to
redecorate the interior of this most pop
ular playhouse. and the New Grand"
of the coming season will probably not
be surpassed in beauty by any theater
outside of New York city. The list of
attractions TO be played the coming sea-
son includes many of the famous artists
withstanding the fact that opposition
will be in the field, the Grand will con-
tinue to play nothing but first-class COM
panies. with prices accordingly-25c,
SOC, 75c and 81. Business at this theater
was very much in excess of last year up
to April /. but during the street car
strike and during the month of May
throughout it was bad, making the sea-
son average about with the second
| best since the house was built. Many
new and novel things will be introduced
at the Grand next season never before
seen in Western playhouse, and the
season will open early in August.
HARRIS INNOVATIONS.
uc pdCeIC Idll anu NelltitdIOF CHdt IS
being placed in Harris Hennepin Ave
hue theater is nearly completed. and
within a week. no matter how warm the
weather is, the atmosphere in the house
can be made as cool as in refrigerator.
When finished the cost will be upwards
of $4,000, and the ventilation of the
place surpass that of any other house in
the country. Within week Manager
Harris Will have arranged to give every
patron attending the performances
dish of the best bisque and Neapolitan
ice cream, to be served on pretty pa
per mache plate, with spoon attached.
This novelty will doubtless attract
muny during the warm days who would
perhaps not come otherwise. The SOU
vehir matinees at Harris Hennepin
Avenue theater have served to increase
the already large attendance. and in
consequence Manager Harris will con-
tfnue to give each lady attending the
Tuesday and Thursday matinees a
handsome souvenir. "The Three Black
Cloaks" will be the opera to be given
following 'sThe Mascotte."
