Something About the Programme
for the Press Club Entertain
ment.
Tomorrow seats for the press club
entertainment will be on sale at the box
office of the Lyceum theater. The NAM
berS of the club have been selling tick
cts for week now. The purchasers of
these tickets must have their seats re-
served this week. They can be reserved
tomorrow or any time between now and
the date of the entertainment. If the
purchasers of tickets are wise in their
day and generation they will have the
seats reserved tomorrow. The rush
for seats will be great this week, and
those that come first will be the gamers.
The public has been fed on promises
long enough in regard to this entertain
ment. 1t is as well to let them into the
secret of what will be provided for them.
The programme will not be completed
until tomorrow or next day, but ar
rangements have progressed far enough
so that the character of the show can be
outlined. In the first place the leading
members of the following excellent or
CARNATIONS will have place on the pro-
gramme:
Fred Warde's company, from the Ly-
SCdDs mug llOu otOCh GOlH
from the Grand in Minneapolis; 1.-The
Old, Old Story" company, from the BIZ
jou; 1.-THE Directory" from the Metro
politan in st. Paul; ga Trip to China
Town" company, from the Grand in st.
Paul.
These are all strong companies. In all
probability Fred Warde will present the
forum scene from ''Virginius." his
favorite character. Miss Minnie Selg-
man will recite faux Italiens," Owen
Meredith's beautiful poem. Nelson
Wheatcroft will contribute recitation,
1.-The Marselllais at Sebastopol," with
Stuart and Gus Frankel, also Of Pitou's
excellent company, will sing, the latter
appearingln a comic character song.
| The members of RusseIl's City Direc-
tory company will be out in force, and
| will give the audience laughter enough
| to last for a week. That this is
not exaggeration is evident when it
| is stated that such eminent entertainers
| as Luke Schoolcraft, Burt Haverly,
Willis Sweatnam and MeSSrs. aaly,
| Witmark, Seaman and MirOn are in the
programme. They will be seen in a
| minstrel first part specially arranged
| for the occasion. The orchestra will be
under the direction of w. S. Mutually,
| the veteran minstrel musical director.
| Some local songs have been written for
the end men. Amelia Glover, than
whom there is no more graceful dan
| Ger on the American stage, is
down for a number. There will be
music by the Mexican band through
| the courtesy of the Exposition manage
ment. The tambourine solo that has
made such hit in the concerts at the
Exposition will be one of the numbers
| provided. One of the cornet soloists
| will also appear. The second act of
1.-The Old, Old Story" is said to be one
of the funniest things ever seen on any
stage. 1t will be feature of the press
club entertainment. The clever people
that compose Hoyt's "a Trip to China
town. company will have prom
lnent place in the entertainment
just what they will contribute is not
| known as yet. The complete pro-
gramme will be ready for publication in
few days. 1t will be found superior
to anything of the kind ever seen on
any stage in Minneapolis. There will
| be variety in the show, and such variety !!
| When the best artists in five standard
theatrical companies are consolidated
into one entertainment company the re-
| suit is bound to be something startling
| in the way of merit. And that is what
| the entertainment to be given next
Friday afternoon at the Lyeeum theater
| will be-
