DURNO-EM NETT.

The second OF the series of the Y NJ
G. A. entertainment course viii take
place at the Grand Opera House on Fri
day evening next, December S1st. On
that occasion the famous Durno-Em-
NETT combination, assisted by Melgib-
bon Kimbrough, pianist. This prom
ises to be one of the best entertainments
of the winter and one which none
should miss. 1t win be an all-around
evening of magic, mirth. mimicry and
mystery.
DURNo
is the magician, and he is wonder,
and it is said that none of the fakirs of
East India or the Chinese magicians
car perform any more marvellous tricks
than he. OF Durno the Cedar Rapids
Daily Republican says: 1.-The perform
ance opens with Durno, the magician,
who, by the way, is one of the cleverest
performers in his line ever seen in this
city. His stage settings are magnifi-
cent and his work throughout is very
pleasing
EMMETT,
the California entertainer, has achieved
great success, and is generally con-
ceded to be the cleverest and most orig
inal artist in his line upon the platform.
His repertoire is extensive. Besides
his artistic violin solos, he makes the
King of Instruments initiate any
sound in animate or inanimate nature
He sings comic songs and sings them
well. He recites dialect sketches and
tells humorous stories in an irresistible
manner, and then adds finishing touch
to the entertainment by introducing the
finest display of the art of ventrilo-
quism ever seen in this country. He is
justly called the "King of Ventrilo-
quists" Mr. Emmett is whole show
himself.
The Brooklyn Times says of Emmett:
"Mr. Hugh j. Emmett was an even
ing's entertainment in himself. His
many wonderful limitations and his
ready wit in his thirty minutes of ven
triloquism showed him to be an adept
KIMBRoUGH
last season was with Spillman Riggs
for term of nearly twenty weeks, and
in many cases he shared the honors
evenly. He appeared in many of the
strongest courses in the States and in
Canada and practically the uniform
testimony has been that he is a marvel

From the mountains lnincdug depth

And circles the World again

Till the stream KING roars from both

Nor bows his head to aught but

OF want he feels nor fears the bitter

Well may he curse the day that gave
