MIssoULA. Jan. 19.-As soon as the
tidings of Bu,tc's disaster reached this
city, Herr BIndmann consulted with the
members of his local company and, with
their consent, offered to donate the entire
proceeds of performance TO be given Al
the Bennett Opera house tonight. 4 tel
cgram was sent 10 Manager G.. y. Hartley
at Wallace, asking for the free use OF the
opera house for this purpose, and he
promptly wired this characteristic reply:
Certainly. Go ahead. Can have the
opera house with the greatest pleasure TO
me-" The local newspapers donated the
necessary printing and Mayor McLaugh-
lin named Frank G.. higgins. Charles n.
Hall and CLANCY +. Woodwork as COM
mittee TO handle the funds and forward
the proceeds TO Butte.
Everybody took hold of the scheme with
n will and no performance was ever given
in this city that was more freely patron
lied than this. Mayor Mel tughlin APP
pointed the following gen lemen as ticket
sellers and by them the town was thor
oughly canvassed: Harry Clancy, G. y.
Hartley. John Moore, Gust Moser. l. Il.
Hosey, John NJ. Evans, j. w. Buford, i.
T. Sterling, p. NJ. Reilly, c. w. Blair, j.
II. Il. Ryman and II. o. Worden.
Everybody responded with n willing
ness that was surprising. Gust Moscr,
secretary of the Mssoula Mercantile COM
pany, bought for his company the first
100 tickets, paying 500 for them. Other
business men fell into line and the adj
vance sales beat tho record. When the
committee this evening counted up the
proceeds of the performance they found
that they had moro than $500 To send TO
the Butte committee.
The performance this evening was one
OF the best that has ever been given by
Herr Bandmann and his local Amateurs.
All seemed to be filled with a determine
ton to show their splendid audience that
they appreciated Mssoula's liberal re-
Spouse to the call for aid. There was no
one in the well-iilled house who regretted
that he had come and 10 one begrudgcd
the money paid for his seats. 1t was a
splendid presentation of tho great play,
in which Herr Bandmann has won the
plaudits of the thcatcr-oing public IN all
parts of the world, and 1t is doubtful II
the great tragedian ever before acted this,
one OF his favorite paris, with the zest and
earnestness which no displayed tonight.
II was as if the grand old cardinal wcro
on the stage himself, 50 splcndidly was he
persontied.
Mrs. Bandmann was captivating and
Miss Morton added new laurels to her rec
ord. The male members OF the cast were
good, as they always are, and the per-
Torrance tonight must DC counted as the
GROWING event in the career OF Herr
Bandmann's local company. The cast
