New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1903-07-29
FINE. ATTRACTIONS BOOKED.
Excellent Theatrical Troupes Are
Coming Here.
Both Local Playhouses Have Very
Pleasing Lists.
Thespian Artists Not Given to
Stunning Jew Ulm.

| Amusement seekers and persons who
enjoy a good theatrical performance
have much to look forward to the
coming winter. Both the local play
houses have long lists of plays and
among the number are several ex-
cellent ttractions. Despite the as
sertions Of a local paper that New Ulm
has been back-listed by show people,
it is apparent that the Thespian artists
are exhibiting no inclination to shun
the old town and the coming season
promises to be most successful.
Manager f.. w. johnson of the
Turner Theatre, has a very pleasing
schedule. In the early stages of the
theatres career Mr.. Johnson had a
disastrous experience with a booking
concern and since that time he prefers
obtaining his attractions independent
| ly. His method enables him to pre-
sent companies which he knows are
high-class and it is possible for him
to avoid the riff-raff and barn
stOrmers. AS result of observing
this method he will be able to give this
winter such well-known plays as ''The
Game Keeper" 1--WE. Are King"
"Shore Acres. - ''The Tanning of the
Shrew, - Orchard Carvel' and "Near
| the Throne"
The season at the Turner Theatre
will open on September 9th with the
old-time favorite s'Yon Y onson," and
on November 9Th Thos. j. Smith
comes here in 'The Game Keeper"
That same month Walker Whiteside
is slated to give 1--WE Are King" and
on December 1st will be. presented the
famous eastern play ashore Acres"
"a Girl From Sweden comes on
December 18th and on January 18th
Chas. B. Hanford will be seen in "The
Tanning of the Shrew.''
"His Nibs, the Baron" is booked
for January Oath and in addition to
all these there will come during the
season Andrew Robson in Orchard
Carvel" and Thos. A. Alexander in
''Near the Throne - Both of these
gentlemen rank among the leading
actors on the American stage, Mr..
Alexander having starred last year in
E'The Prisoner of Zenda." All the
troupes carry strong supporting com
panies and are among the best which
| will be seen in the Northwest this sea-
son, fact which in itself refutes the
idea that this city has been boycotted
by the better class of plays. =.
Manager John Henle of the New Ulm
Opera house, has succeeded in securing
a long list of plays, practically all of
which will be put on at popular prices.
His season will open August 26th with
Truesdale's Minstrels and on Septem-
Der 7th "Faust'' is to be given. A
repertoire troupe, the Auburn Stock
Company, comes for two nights,

18th ''The American Hobo" will do his
little stunt. ''New Jersey Folks is
the bill for September oath and on
October 18th will be seen the ''Beggar
Prince -
AS an attraction for October 22nd,
Mr.. .Henle has engaged Gus Suns
Minstrels and three days later s'The
Irish Pawnbroker'' will entertain the
people. On the 10Th "Circumstantia al
Evidence':' holds the boards and it is
followed by ''The Fast MALI on
