Since July, 1897, Mr. P. F. Hale has
been acting as manager of The Ap-

make collections for all bills due to the

At the Bijou Opera House Minneapolia
For the coming week at the Bijou
is announced a style of attraction
which is sure to meet with: decided fas
vor at the hands of local theatre goers.
The success that has attended each
fact clearly that local theatre goers are
decidedly partial to Black Face Com
edy. For the coming week; local
theatre goers will be amused by what
is promised to be the most excellent
attraction of this order on the" road
this season. "a Trip, to, Coontown"
the funny musical comedy, serves as a
vehicle for the specialties and comical-
tiles of such comedians as Cole and
johnson. Bob Cole as Willie Wayside,
alias Prince Dafy Dahomey; has" been
the talk of every city where the COM
edy has, been, presented, and Billy
Johnson isc the bunco@ steerer, wf1o is
an artist to, his: finger tips. These two
form the centre of a. round of tricks,
fun and comicality, interspersed with
new and up to date songs, dances and
specialties: In the supporting: COM
pany are Lloyd Gibbs, the greatest liv-
ing black tenor; Tom Brown; c1arac-
ter comedian, Jessie Shipp, descriptive
singer; Walter Dixon and jim Wilson,
well-known: entertainers, Miss. Edna
Alexander, soprano; Miss Dolly Dill
and a. chorus, OF" twenty trained voices.
"a Trip to Cuontown'' is the first mu-
sical' comedy successfully produced by
an Afro American company, and has
had a. season Of packed houses The
piecep iss lively throughout without a
dull moment, fairly sparkling with
clean and unobj jectionable humOr and
melodies; both In chorus and! solo are
rendered: in infmitable Southern style
andl perfection, thoroughly polished
and upeto-d -date. 1-.-. rss. -, "
When an entertainment. is an

can performers the general impression
is, that It Will be combination OF
minstrelsy, plantation and levee
scenes; with perhaps a cake walk; but
this, performance is departure from
anything yet given by Afrv-American
performers, and on it's second tour
many new and novel features will be
introduced, new songs especially writ

johnson originated and staged the pro-
ductfon Of ''The Black: Patti Troube
dours," season Of '95, and were the
leading comedians. Tn this produc-
tfon they are the stars and have been
most enthusiastically received, the per-
formances being attended by society
everywhere. The company organized
