I. JUST ONE FEATURE.
Among the artists whom AL G. Field
hasTthis season none will excite more
attention than the great Knetzger, an
importationa whom Mr.. Field has added
to his big minstrels for the current sea-
son. Knetzger is n marvel, n master
spirit of ambidexterIty. In his unique
and novel performance with the Indian
clubs he stands in the world of amuse-
ment without an equal. His startling
featS give him a niche all his own in
the realm of vaudeville wherever he
has been seen. and he remains but forty
weeks In America. The verdict has
been the same-the strongest single
vaudeville act carried with minstrel
company; but withal. 1tnetzger. won.
derful as he unQueStiOnably is, is only
one feature in the AL. G. Field Big Min

er OF his own particular line. They will
be seen at the City Hall Theatre next
Monday night. Reserved seats are now
on sale at Stewards drug store.
