PAINS P0MPElI SHOW
A GREAT SPECTACLE

It was fortunate move that the
Twin City Amusement company made
in securing for Grand Army week so
popular and elaborate an open-air night
attraction as Pain 5 Last Days Of
p Pompeii," which will be seen in this
city nightly the coming week, opening
Monday evening" No Sunday perform
ance will be given.
Fortunate also were the managers in
securing so convenient and central a
location as the Parade, opposite Loring
park, on which to present the exhibit
tion. It will prove the biggest kind of
a night feature to the thousands of Wis
itors and will be as welcome to Mime
apolis people. ....... !
f. The production Of Pain s big historic
spectacle, "Last Days Of Pompeii, "
therefore, has an added interest, since
it represents the terrible catastrophe Of
nearly 1900 years ago. The mimic city
in this spectacle represents with &C
curacy the fated city that perished in
the first century of the Christian era.
The scenery covers four acres, but 50 de-
ceptive Is the perspective that it. ap-
pears to spread out over many, times
that space The view is said to be his
torically accurate, being like what the
archeologists now suppose the ancient
city was at the time. 1T was destroyed.
The whole effect under the glare of
half hundred arc lights and cal ciums
is most beautiful. AS, one sits in the
vast amphitheater and ygazes. on the
scene before him he sees Vesuvius with
its head raised against the sky. below
the houses. temples, arches, ETC., Prop:
crly to represent the latter. many real

height are blended with the picture'
in the background.
Four hundred gorgeously costumed
people participate in these exciting
episodes and picturesque pageants. Fol
lowing these stirring scenes there is
presented beautiful exhibition of fire
works and those who have seen these
pyrotechnics of Pain have never re
allied the full meaning Of the wore
before. Seats are provided in the am
phitheater for nearly 10000 people. The
opening performance on Monday night
has been designated "G. A. R. night ,.
