IT may be that retributlon in new
form has fallen upon the unhappy peo-
pie of Minneapolis because of the re-
trenchment and reform administration,
for certainly only some dispensation OF
divine wrath can be held accountable
for the visitation of j. G. Stewards
"Fat Mans Comedy Company" The
Grand opera house management has
before presented some very poor and
trashy attractions at high prices, but this
last atfiiction is hardly eXcusable, even
if this is the hardest season in
record" The so-called musical COM
edy is without merit in construction,
and the various SpecialtieS introduced,
with but one or two exceptions. are
third-rate. A couple of dime museum
freaks are introduced, some very an
cient chestnutS are sprung by the way
of dialogue, and horse play interspersed
with indifferent songs and dances, to-
gether with acrobatic feats, constitute
the ''Show."
The sale of seats for Rhea's engage
ment at the Harris theater next week
actress will appear in A. r. Haven's
historical play, Josephine. Empress of
the French" Matinees will be given on
Thursday and Saturday, when the
prices will be rs, so and 25 cents. The
regular theater prices will prevail at
the evening performances. AS there is
likely to be a large demand for seats,
the management respectfully requests
all those persons who have beSpoken
seats to present themselves at the box
office of the theater to-day and secure
them from the treasurer.
The play Newly Married." and the
farce. THANKSGIVING Eve" will be
presented at the new Norden theater

Monday evenings. This will be the
formal opening of the house, as a purely
Scandinavian theater, under the man
agement of w. E. Sterling, business
manager, and George Harbitz, stage
manager 1t is the intention of the
management to open the house
every Saturday, Sunday and Mon
day evenings only until the success
of the experiments practically assured
Among the members of the company,
which will be a stock affair, are H.
Scheel, George HaibitZ, John Gestdahl,
A. RensleW, Mrs. Lundwig and Mrs.
Hammer, nearly all of whom have
played at the principal theaters in Nor
way and Sweden and have brilliant rec
Ords. In the near future such plays as
"The Youth of Paris" king Midas
and "a Trip to China" will be pre-
scented.
The following telegram was received
yesterday by j. H. Sinclair, manager of
Mile. Rhea:
Mansfield, O., April 10, 1890.-We ex
pect to arrive in Minneapolis Monday morn
ing Will hold informal receptions in my
parlors. West hotel, every afternoon next
week. Want to see all my old Minneapolis
friends there. RHEA.
There was change of bill at Harris
there last night, "Shaun Rhue" receiv-
ing its first presentation. 'Shaun
Rhue" is the companion piece to
"Kerry Cow" and, like its predecessor,
abounds in strong situations, and has a
very pretty love story for foundation.
The double role of Larry Donovan and
Shaun Rhue gives Mr.. Murphy better
opportunity for the display of his
powers than did the title role of kerry
Cow" AS the merry, rollicking, fun
loving and misunderstanding Irish lad
Mr.. Murphy is seen at his best, and the
witty sayings which fell from his lips
caused no end of merriment among the
audience. The supporting company is
far above the average, and "Shaur
Rhue" served but to confirm the favor
able impression given the early part Of
The week.
