clever sketch artists, have put on some
entertaining acts, and The Van Cooks

with their clever musical turns.

Fred Seward, who is manager and also

Stefani is the hero usually and he does
excellent work, The funny men are

Harry Hale, George Westfall and
Harry Russell are also capable OF good
work.
For the balance of the week the
company has cut prices down to 5, 10
and 15 cents and no higher. At these
bankrupt prices. with a show that is
really equal to most high priced ones
seen here, the Turner ought to be TOO
small to hold the crowd each perform

on Saturday and Sunday, at these
prices, and the play will be changed al
each performance.

that the company is in no manner
allied with the Milwaukee Electric

conduct a machinery and foundry re
