PRESS CLUB BENEFIT.
The Entertainment Will Be One of
Unusual Merit.

The outlook now is that the Press club bene-
fit, to be given at the Metropolitan Friday,
May /, will be the best and most successful
from every standpoint, in the istory of the
club. The tickets are going like hot cakes, be-
cause there will be fine bill, and because the
club will present, during the entertainment
a handsome high-grade Thistle bicycle fur
nished by the Thistle company, and valued at
$100.
AS for the entertainment itself, nothing SO
diverse and so generally interesting has as yet
been offered at any benefit in this city. All
the companies playing in the Twin Cities that
week have volunteered their services as or
ganizations and as individuals, and have been
particularly cordial in their expressed wishes
to do everything possible4in their power to
make the event success. At that time Fred
erick Warde will be playing in Minneapolis
and so will Gus Hills novelties, while the
John Stapleton company and John ]. Burke
in '@The Doctor will be Iiiaying in st. Paul
Every company will be fully represented.
Manager Kngsbury of the Grand, has kind
ly consented to take ehargesof the stage, which
means that the entertainment will run smooth
ly. No final arrangementsghaye been made as
to the programme, but, as it looks now, the
bill will open with one Of the best acts from

Hendersons comedian, as the star. Fred

will be succeeded in turn, by group of the
best specialties from Gus Hills list of novel
ties, headed by the redoubtable Gus himself
who is the champion club swinger of the
world. These specialties will all be Of the
highest order of merit, and of character in
contrast with the other, features of the BILL
The entertainment will close with the third
act of Sardou's interesting comedy, Amer
leans Abroad" which was given with such
success at the Metropolitan during the early
part OF the winter. It is likely, too. that other
features will be added, as the committee has
plenty OF offers, and will be hard pressed to
keep from making the entertainment too long.
There will be no amateur talent, the COM
mittee having been compelled to decline sew
eral courteous offers The professional at
fractions are Of such exceptional merit and
present SO many opportunities. that 1t would
be impossible to place any home talent on the
bill at this time.

new suit of summer clothes. He has just
