WE'RE IN "VODEVuL"
Amateurs Take a Turn at Entertaining
Patrons of UNIQUE.

AS a rule the amateurs won liberal
applause at the Unique theatre last
night and one Of them, Burt Hartman,
got more than his share. He did a mon
ologue in a tone Of voice too low to be
distinct to those in the rear seats and
as result rounds Of vigorous handicap
ping greeted him at inopportune times.
He was game and kept on talking so a
test Of endurance resulted in which
the audience finally won out.
Charles Nathanson and John Spercel,
young musicians from the Journal
newsboys' band, gave selections on the
trombone, French horn and tuba with
good effect. The "Suwannee River
Quartet did some excellent singing.
Miss Pearl Hoge danced the Highland
fling nicely. Master Harry Chapple
sang "Teasing,' and Frank Swain and
Frank Seger contributed some fair buck
and win dancing. The bill at the
Unique does not change until Monday
afternoon, so there are two days more

"PIONEER SKETCHES''
Frank G.. O'Brien Makes Contribution
to Minnesota History.

A book of "reminiscences of pioneer
days has recently been published by
Frank G.. OBrien, with the title of
Minnesota. Pioneer Sketches" The
book harks back to the time when the
ton, and the great northwest was
reached by Red river carts and dog
trains. O'Brien lived among the scenes
he describes, and which he recalls in
graphic style: He lived in st. Anthony
apolis, altho the westside soon out
stripped and overshadowed the import
ance of the pioneer town. The book
is profusely illustrated and on that &C.
count has a great historic value.

Observation-Disclosures of Eva Tanguay

Already it is safe to predict big
financial success for the engagement OF
Eva Tanguay in ''The Sambo Girl
which begins at the Metropolitan to-
morrow night. The magnetic Tanguay
and her excellent company are to play
all week for the benefit of the Mime
apolis Firemen g Relief Fund, and the
316 members who constitute the fire
fighting organization of this city have
been busily distributing tickets for
the event for the past two weeks with
the result that Miss Tanguay has, per-
haps, the largest advance sale prior to
the ringing up of the curtain that has
ever: been secured for any star in the
history of Minneapolis. 49,
The Firemen's Relief Fund will not
only benefit on the tickets the fremen
sell, but will also participate on the
box office, and this is an excellent op-
portunity for the public to show their
appreciation for the fire laddies. -.
I'The Sambo Girl'' with Miss Tan
quay in the title role, pleased a great
number of regular patrons in its brief
visit week ago, and there were un-
doubtedly many people who refraincd
from attending in order to kill two
birds with one stone, that Is, to see
this successful musical play and to help
the fremen s fund at ONE and the same
time. "The Sambo Girl'' production
will be reinforced in song numbers and
Miss Tanguay's entrance song, entitled
HI Don't Care' will be localized with
some telling hits.
Manager Scott has prevailed upon
the Tanguay management to make the
prices popular for the week.
