very low bow to the editors in the social
session rendered the visitors at Elks'
hall, Hennepin avenue and Sixth street,
last evening. Minneapolis lodge of Elks
had kindly given the newspaper men the
use of the hall for the evening, and after
the theaters were out it was thronged
with merry crowd of fun-makers and
a highly appreciative audience of thought
moulders The long and varied vaude-
Vile program was one of the best ever
served up to meeting of the associa-
ton in this city.
The editors sat through three hours OF
high class specialties with unabated in
terest and man named Peace cried for
more when Colonel A. x. Schall an
nounced, with his statliest bow, Its all
over now" Much of the success Of the
program was due to Manager A. W. Wit
tig OF the Dewey theater, who took per
sonal charge of the performance and kept
the kettle hot. He didn't allow the fun
to lag for one instant, and arranged the
musical and talking parts" SO cleterly
as to prevent their growing monotonous.
Several Of the star performers were from
the Dewey theater.- - -.
Among the artists who kindly contrib
uted their services were Bonita and her
cute pickaninnies from the Dewey thea
ter. Their singing Of "Hotentot" and
Good Mawnin', Carrie was one Of the
hits Of the evening. Miss Belle Gold of
the Yon Yonson company gave clever
imitation of Joe WEIGH of the Orpheum
company, who did neat little stunt him
self later on. Walling, the barytone, and
the Mcdonald Brothers Of the Star, St.
Paul, gave a lively knockabout sketch,
written in Irish. Numbers were contrib
uted by several members of the 'sGirl
from Maxim's" company, at the Metropol-
itan theater, among them being Miss MAJ
ville's I'm Only Working Girl'; reci-
tation and nimb1e hornpipe by Joseph
Allen, the first English clog dancer to
visit the United States, and a master at
that art; W. H. Turner's inimitable rem
dition of John L. Sullivan done in
Dago dialect, and Messrs- Nichols and
Kaufman. -... .. 49,.
Other features of the evening were the
wonderful strength tests Of Charley Han
son, known locally as the ''Sampsonian
Swede,' who straightens horseshoes with
his bare hands, and recitations by w. I.
Nolan and Hugh O'Donnell.
The hosts were indebted to the Min
neapolis Brewing company for writing
material. G. E. Van Duzee exhibited some
warm" moving pictures.
