the klmball Opera Comique company,
supporting the charming comedienne

bus" This production is by far the
most expensive and elaborate yet at
tempted by Mrs. Kimball. The COM
pany includes sixty people, and the
scenery is entirely new. The story of
the opera reaches from New York in
1920. by way of the Florida everglades,

tuous, every detail OF the scenery being
carried with the company. In the

the Irresistible Hudson, makes desper-
ate and undying love to Emelina, a
beautiful Dutch maiden, to Miss Man

ISABEL, daughter of Marquis Perfecto
del Cabauas, fiery Spanard. to say
nothing of his making conquest of all
the beautiful girls in the chorus. Cor
lnne makes love charmingly. and all
HudSon'S Sweethearts, including his
true and terrific wife, Abigail, woman
OF advanced ideas, pursue him UP and
down the continent, i'll the most inter-
eSting and entertaining comic opera
style. And tremendously pretty lot of
girls they are, too.
"Hoss and Hoss'' still continues to
prove a laughing attraction at the
Grand, and if Judge Hoss" should pre-
side III our municipal court the number
OF suspects would be largely increased,
as every attendant on the Judges dis
penSation of justice Seems.to enjoy his
honor immensely.

of the average theater- goer that can be
replaced by 10 other form of entertain
ment. 1t clears the mind aud drives
away the blue devils from the brain, and
is positive cure for melancholia.
Thomas Q. Seabrooke and his merry
band OF fun-makers are now doug good

itan in that etfervescing compound, the

thirsty, and the patrons who have wit
messed this performance will regret the
short stay III ST. Paul.

Seibert's orchestra furnished the music
for the occasion, and everything passed
off very satisfactorily.
Besides the roller skating and the
merry-go-round they have rife range
and a Switchboard and a refreshment
buffet.
