Very Elaborate Preparations for the
Thanksgiving Entertainment
is INTERESTED IN THE AFFAIR
Leading Young Mcn of the city VIII
Participate und Furnish Fun
throughout n Lengthy
Performances.

with foot ball, turkey and the Burlesque
Circus by the Council Bluffs Field club at
the Dohany theater, society promises to have
a busy time Thanksgiving day. The last
named attraction promises to be a rare
treat. and will rank far ahead of the usual
home talent entertainment. w. l.. Haskell,
the originator of the Burlesque Circus, has
improved his production by several seasons
of success, and the show to be presented
here will be something entirely new. Many
of it's catchy and rollicking features have
been brought out In the rehearsals, and the
cast selected from the young society men OF
the city is especially strong. Such a de-
lghtful potpourri OF melody, fun and bur.
lesque will be hard to imagine until 1t is
hurled from the stage of the Dohany Thurs
day evening.
Some clever plans have been studied out in
introducing the various parts of the per-
formance. George S. Wright will preside in
the guided rooms of the Metropolitan club,
and with coterle of congenial souls, will
evolve the greatest siXteen-foot one ring
circus ever seen anywhere. To his aid will
come the ubiquitous Mr.. Barnes of New
York, and his dazzling personality will shine
through the placid features of Mons. Perry
Badolett. Drs. Macrae and Treynor, seen so
often together in real life will present an
entirely original and striking living picture
as Meesrs. Upson and Downs. But what they
will really do must be seen.
And there will some real serious and
artistic features to the entertainments. Mr..
Arthur Pryor, Sousa's great trombone player
will appear during the evening. Mr. Pryer
Is a personal friend of M Haskell the d.
rector of the Buresque Circus, and offered
to come to Council Bluffs and spend Thanks
giving with him and play some OF lis
masterpieces.
BALLAD AND COMIC SINGING.
In the ballad and comic singing 1t would
be hard to find a more accomplished corerio
than l. NJ. Treynor, Phil p Paschal. w. S.
Rgdon, w. L. Douglass. Tom Askin, c. S.
Haverstick and w. l.. Haskell.
But the main feature Is the circus. Ed
Troutman Is announced to sell the proverbial
red lemonade and popcorn to the festive
rube." Mr.. Douglass will bark for the side
show, and the wonders of the side show
'reaks will be the subjects of divers disserta-
tions by George Hughes No rural sport will
be allowed to go unplucked, and the wheel
Of fortune will be presided over by Will
Beebe, while through the silence will be
heard the peals of Tom Metcalf's portable
organ. There will be some legitimate saw
dust ring work, and among this can be men
toned the bareback riding OF Paul Torrlng-
ton, on his famous horse Spot" Mr.
Haskell and Mr. Douglass will make great
H.,
airy flights of VIII Rigdon on the high
wire have already resulted in much wonder
at the rehearsals.
Another feature that promises to detract
greatly from the charms of the Circassian
beauty. David Stuart, Is the grand entry in
which Messrs. Ned Mitchell, DR.. Treynor
