SUMMER AMUSEMENT
AT TFIEATER AND PARK

earnest desire to make the production
of Held by the Enemy during en-
campment week one of the notable
events in local theatrieals.
AS the story of the play is generally
known, 1T is only necessary to remark
that it represents the fruits of William
Gillette's ripened genius. It is, first Of
a superb military setting, and it has
Just sufficient war atmosphere to give
strength and beauty to the main Incl
dent, which is of great dramatic power.
Unique Theater-
The Unique will present a big new
bill next week, commencing with matt
nee performances Monday afternoon.
All high-c class vaudeville acts and .
great variety of them will constitute
one of the best all-around bills of the
season.
The fine bill which has been pre-.
sented thruout the week will be con-
tinued for the Sunday performances.
This includes the Valdare trio, fancy
and trick bicycle riders, and Dora Tay-
lor, the Australian -toedancer
| Allaire and Lind, in a beautiful
club-swinging and Juggling act, will
present their European turn. Reno
and Azaro, also European performers,
Will present HONelty euLltleu lHo
Clown and the Soubrette.' an aero
batic and burlesque travesty which is
said to be great laugh-producer.
One Of the particularly good stunts
will be that of Harry L. Webb. the
black-face comedian, who made a big
hit at the Unique a few weeks ago.
The head-iner attraction, high
priced, expensive act, worthy of the
highest praise, will be that of Mr.. and
Mrs. Robyns in the beautiful one-act
Billie McRobie, the well-known &c.
centric comedian, who has host OF
friends in the city, is also down for
ten-minute diversion.
Irene Little will sing appropriate
songs, and new motion pictures will be
presented.

Fling Out the Flags.

The Journal has such confidence
in the patriotism of the people of Min
neapolis as to believe that the extent
and variety of the decorations may be
safely left to them. At the same time,
it is not amiss to remind all our fellow
citizens that a duty rests upon each
one The downtown streets ought to
be generally and bountifully decorated
with the national colors. Abundance of
display of bunting counts. Not every
one can afford special designs, nor it is
necessary But to set off the special
designs every building should have
some display of color. A building left
in it's native state is a break in the
scheme which no brilliancy Of design
In it's neighbor can overcome. Let
everyone within his means do what he
can. being assured that the red, white
and blue thrown out in folds or stream
ers is it's own design.
The residence districts have not done
much vet. but it is too early to expect
it. People who can put out their flags
on an hours notice are not going to
display them ahead Of time and take
the chances of rain running their effect
On Monday there should be a generous
and effective decoration Of homes and
lawns. The city's visitors will not be
confined to the downtown district. They
will be everywhere and will be more
impressed by patriotic demonstrations
in the suburbs than they will be down
town. where it is more a matter OF
course.
The indications are for a splendid
week Of genuine American patriotism
i, It is a good time to bring home the his
tory of the country to the children, tt
give them pictures which will be last
ing and which will forever fix thei
standards of LOYALTY to the country ant
be the beginning of true understand
ing of the national character. Tn
Grand Army of the Republic in it
membership is almost of the past. 1t
members are tottering down the vale
of life. But it's influence is very muc
of the future. Its reunion is pagean
of patriotism. The city which enter
tains the organization should not mis-
the point Of value. It is to teach ps
triotism from living examples. TO con
plete the lesson there must be picture
and what picture is more beautiful tha
that of the national colors displaye

"RECOLLECTIONS OF Thirteen
S."-John s. Wise has had
the happy fortune to be personally ac-
quainted with thirteen presidents. He has
also the good fortune to be a man of OBJ
servant faculties and of directness of
speech. The result is that in his book Of
the title quoted above he gives Americans
something that is extremely worth while.
Mr.. Wise's acquaintances among the pres
idents include Tyler, Pierce, Buchanan,
Jefferson Davis, Andrew Johnson, Grant,
Hayes, Garfield, Arthur, Cleveland, Har-

St. Paul's Opportunity.

The snorting st. Paulite whose park,
home and every privilege but Sunday
beer was to be shorn ruthlessly from
him by the establishment of a pack
ing plant nearer Minneapolis than to
him has been quieted. He has learned
that the city generally is not with
him in an effort to cut off his nose to
spite his face. st. Paul was, Of course,
justified in trying to get the packing
plant within her own local territory,
but she might have kept in mind that
the Armours had very likely not made
a move until they were fairly well
grounded in knowledge Of geographical
conditions. If they had wished to go
to South St. Paul, it is quite improb-
able that they needed to wait until
a long-bearded but earnest committee
from St. Paul took them map Of the
place and showed them how to get
there. AS matter of fact, they had
owned land in this region and had
sold it because it was not adapted to
their purposes. The brilliant idea of
| st. Paul in seeking to inform the Ar
mours about South st. Paul was about
as laughable as it would have been
for the Chinese to have instructed the
Japs about Manchuria. The Japanese
had mapped Manchuria into square
miles and knew every stream, ford,
road and clump Of trees much better
than the Chinese knew them. In the
same way the Chicago packers had
mapped and considered all the possible
territory in the northwest. A $5,O00,-
600 investment could hardly be con-
templated upon less exact knowledge.
Therefore it appears that the Ar
mours will locate where they can do
business without reference to the con-
tending claims of cities. This being
true, the antiseptic st. Paulite will
have to suppress himself. The build.
ing Of meat-packing plant, partly in
Ramsey county, and the gathering to;
gether of new population Of 10000
or more, partly in one city and partly
in the other, is an event which cannot
be viewed entirely from the standpoint
of the ancient and honorable artillery
who always trained their guns against
Minneapolis. St. Paul should turn hel
attention to enterprises within he1
," scope, for example plastering the Audi

the lighter forms OF theatrical. amuse-
ment, the Orpheum theater will open
its doors tomorrow afternoon with a
bill of modern vaudeville especially en-
gagged and arranged for the delectation
of visitors during the encampment.

Nearly every one who follows the
fortunes of the musical comedy stage
knows and laughs at Dave Lewis: Mr.:

and "Fantana' for the vaudeville
monologue, and has been doing exceed
ingly well with it.
Artistry is said to be personified in
Eleanor Dorrell, who will appear In a
song cycle called "The Quarrel," and
has, in addition to charming voice,
much personal beauty and decided
penchant for stunning gowns:
There are several other features of
the bill deserving individual mention,

AMUSEMENT PARK FEATURES
Wonderland Park

WOAuCI1duu
eWhile $4,000 residents of the twin
cities have seen Hamilton, the aero
naut, running about in circles at vari-
ship at Wonderland park, there will be
some thousands of people attending the
G.. A R. reunion the coming week who
haven't. For their benefit it can he
said that the airship can be depended
upon to give daily exhibitions when.
ever the atmosphere is moderately
quiet.
The spectacle at night especially is
thrilling Ordinary balloons are entirely
at the mercy of the air currents, but
this cigar-shaped gasbag, propelled by
small motor, can be steered in anv
direction and even make progress
against a moderately strong wind. The
airship is to remain at Wonderland un-
til Aug. %.
Another special attraction that is
also a novelty is the ''Glcbe Of
Death,' a sensational bicvcle stunt.
Riding inside of a globe of steel lat
tice, the riders, because of the terrific
speed they attain, are able to set at
naught the laws of gravitatior- AS
in looping the loop, they are at times
dangling head downward in midair. As
| in the old cycle razzle-dazzle they whirl
about in circles. gradually going higher
until their bodies are at right angles
to the perpendicular,
Wonderland will doubtless appeal to
many Of the visitors of the city during
G. A. R. week Most of its features are
still comparatively new to the north
west. Shooting the chutes, the scenie
railway, old mill and other recreation
amusements had been only read about
and not experienced before the coming
of the big twin city amusement park.
Something like $4,000 has been ex-
pended since last season on new fea-
lures and improvements, until it now
has something like fifty attractions Of
one kind and another scattered along
| its promenade.

6lJYp Theater-
The George Fawcett company opens
at Che Bijou tomorrow afternoon for
an engag cement of three weeks. The
prestige Of the Faweett company has
preceded it's engagement here, as many
Minneapolitans have enjoyed the stock
presentations that have been given at
the& Grand operahouse, st. Paul, the
present summer by this organization.
4 The Girl L Left Behind Me- the
OPENING play Of the Fawcett engage
ment, ist joint product of the pens
of Franklin FYle and David Belasco.
The story Of the play relates to an
easiened by. the. fact. that the sun
dance, one of their typical religious OBJ
servances, has been forbidden by the
United States government, This
| causes the Indians to 90 on the war
path and attack the post. Most Of
the plot Of the play is due to the at
tempt of a cowardly rascal, Lieutenant
Morton Parlow, stationed at Fort Ken
nion on the frontier, to destroy his
affections of General Kennion' g daugh-
ter, Kate Kennion. Co.,, -.
:, The great act of the play occurs in
! the *stockade at Post Kennion. 1t is
early day; the Indians have surround
ed the post and all night their weird
songs have been heard. The few score
| of brave men and women are exhaust
ed and the ammunition is almost gone.
| A parley is held with the Indian. chief,
| who refuses quarter. 1t is the Indian
custom to attack at sunrise, and prep
arations are made for last struggle.
Kate Kennion realizes the fate Of the
women who fall into the hands Of the
Indians, and makes her father promise
that he will shoot her when all hope
is gone. At the close of the act the
Indians have broken thru the line and
are at the gate Of the stockade. Ken
nion prepares to carry out his promise
to his daughter. AS he raises his pis
tol the bugle note of the resculng par
ty is heard and the soldiers rush in.
The fourth act is devoted to right
ing wrong, to exposing the villainy OF
Parlow and his withdrawal from the
scene in disgrace, the uniting of Kate
and Hawsw worth, the strai tightening OF
u affairs for Lucy and Private Jones
and the bringing of Wilber's Ann ane
