noon Oct. 10, in his most interestingly
/ hilarious success, GA Social Lion" Mr..
Sully has been visiting Minneapolis annu-
/ ally FOR a good many years, and his pop
| ularity has Increased with each visit,
until today he is unquestionably the
most popular Irish comedian that is seen
upon the stage Of this city. "A Social
Lion is a simple, unpretentious comedy.
Mr. Su1ly and his associate comedian,
Dan Mason, the Teutonic impersonator,
succeed in keeping their hearers in an
incessant state of laughter The dia-
logue Of "a Social Lion is superlativsely
witty, as Mr.. Sully has a quiet and unc-
! tuous manner Of delivery. that proves
quite irresistible. A "Social Lion" de-
ponds for it's entertaining qualities upon
that trite but ever fruitful source of fun,
a. case Of mistaken identity. Mr.. Sully
whose real character in the farce is
that of Cornelius Slattery, retired rail-

eccentric scientist known as Prof. Bar

The Garrick Burlesque Company, the
appearance of which is notable cojn-
cident, will appear at the Metropolitan,
| minneapolis, for seven nights and two
| natinees, beginning Sunday evening,
coming direct from the GarTick Theater,
| of New York 1t is composed Of the
| foremost artists in the field Of comic
opera and b;,Ilesque. Several of it's
members, notably Elvea Crox, Carrie
Perkins, Alice Lorraine Willis p. Sweat
| nam Mark Murphy and 2. j. Markey,
have individually headed their own COM
ranies. Thirdly was presented with
a wealth of scenery and embellishments,
with costumes which would hardly be
possible to duplicate. and the Duquesne
viii repeat it in kind. Thirdly is an
elaborate and complete burlesque on Du
| Mauriers fanoiful and touching story of
.'Trilby.'' The burlesque is comprised
| al two acts The music was furnished
by Charles Fuerner, and is at all times
attractively melodious, and proves a
complete novelty from the fact that al
/ though it fairly sparkles with melody of
| the tblithesome order, it is also original.
In the burlesque, as in the story, the
central figure as to action is the mes
| merist. He is called Spaghetti, and is
amusingly ridiculous His potent spells
are cast upon ponderous blonde, Thrill
by" and he frightens her into shudder-
Ling commissions. He dives under his
piano with the supple ease and CELEBRITY
Of an eel, and appears and disappears to
grewsome music, and amid the rumble
of thunder and the fitful glare Of un-
earthly lights He hypnotizes the gas,
causing it to turn green There is in
Mr.. Herbert'sy hurlesque, as may be in
! ferred. an abundance of foolery that is
not in any way associated with the story
| of :.Trilby."
