Manager Fournier Has Booked a Large List
( Of Good Plays.
| The theatrical season for 1901 -O2 opens
in North Yakima on August 26 with
, Wiedeman's Repertoire Co., playing a
week at popular prices. This information
comes as gratifying piece OF news to
the thcatre-goers OF the city for the sum-
mer months here have been unusually
dull in the way of amusements. Man
ager Fournier will again have control of
the opera house for the season and has
booked a large number of good plays to
entertain the public here during the
earlier part OF the season. In speaking
OF the attractions at Larson's theatre for
the coming season Manager Fournier
said:
II have just returned from :. trip to
many OF the Puget Sound cities and feel
satisfied with the outlook for the coming
season in North Yakima. l have been
careful in booking the best list of attrac-
tions that will make the coast this sea-
son, and owing to the good results OBJ
tanned with the best companies appear
ing here last season have found it cas-.
Ter to get them this year. If our patrons
will go over the list carefully they can
not but be impressed with the high
standard that is embraced in it. While
it is not as profitable to play the highest
class of attractions feel that it is better
to be content with less profit and con-
continue to enjoy the continued conf
dence and support OF the public. l re-
fuse many companies which offer better
terms from financial view but which
do not merit the patronage we have to
give; but be careful as | might an occa-
sional weak thing will get in much to
my regret.
"The season will open with the WED
emann Repertoire Co., August %, stay
ing week at popular prices. This COM
pany is now playing on the Sound and
doing large business They carry
good band and orchestra and change the
bill every night, much as the Sam Shaw
Co. did some time ago at Masons opera
house. The manager at Everett, WASH,
told me that they played to the largest
number OF people there that has ever
been seen in his theatre in week
stand. Then comes The Daughter
of the Diamond King, by the author
of The King OF the Opium Ring, which
made such hit to large house last sea-
son.
"These two attractions will be followed
by "A Homespun Heart, Sporting Life,'
