THE STAR COURSE
Denver. Col, paper has much
praise for the company that will appear
tonight in the Star Course at City Hail.
The paper says: "Nr. John Thomas is
born comedian, of naturally easy pres
ence, and was very happy in his selec-
tions. which were received With vooifer-
GUS applause; and he at once became the
fayorite of the evening, being obliged to
respond to encore after encore. He is
possessed of good, clear voice, and dis
plays a broad vein of humor in his selec-
tons. which, with his facial expressions
were rendered highly ridiculous. Miss
Webster's handling of the violin was
superb. Paganini's ''Witches' Dance, -
one of the most difficult of violin COM
positions, was most faultlessly rendered,
and won for the gifted performer most
enthusiastic encore" The Boston Post
says of Master Donlan: CAN who went
to the Harvest Cantata at st. Paul's
church, yesterday, were delighted with
the young boy soprano, Henry Donlan OF
Cambridge, who at the youthful age of
twelve fills the role of chief soprano at
ST. Pauls church. Tho boy sang the
solos throughout the service, aud dis
PLAYED phenomenal voice, as clear as a
crystal and as sweet as BIRDS"
HIGH SCHOOL MINSTRELS.
The repetition of the High School Min
strels this evening is given for the same
object as the performances of last week
the foot ball Indebtedness. Owing to
the numerous other attractions the at
tendance was not so large as had been
hoped, although on Saturday night there
was very good house. The appeal is
made to the friends Of athletics to pat
ronize this entertainment for the sake of
the boys who have worked faithfully and
well. The performance is not profession
al of course, and the evidence of the
amateur is visible; but STILL taking eve
rything into consideration, you cannot
fail to be pleased. So far as heard from
everyone who has seen it speaks well of
it. Go and help the boys out Tickets
