quake sufferers but will also miss
fine performance. The best of local
talent will take part and II may be
said with all confidence that the ex-

Rehearsals have been held night
and day until the performers are

Owing to the length of the pro-
gram, there will be no response to
encores. An effort is being made,
said those In charge of the benefit
today, to secure one of the local
party who went through the disaster
on the steamer Republic to give a
short talk, on that experience. This
would be decided novelty and a
feature of great interest at this time.
Manager M. L. Shannon will take
personal charge of the stage manage
ment tonight, to insure smooth and
perfect performance. The ushers
will be we'll known young men of this
city, and every feature will combine
to make the affair one of the most
brilliant events of the season.
The playlet to be produced by Mr..
Sullivan, with the able assistance of
Miss Mullins, is a scream. Mr..
Sullivan, who is a member of the
Majestic staff, has presented it in
vaudeville and it has alweys been a
tremendous laughing hit. The Har-
mony Four, composed of s. J. Mason,
Thomas Bollerup, Carl Peterson and
Arthur Doscher, will appear with
Mayor Bollschweiler In a musical
sketch, Behind the Scenes. This
has gone big" in rehearsals and
should prove winning card. The
singing act by the Misses Merello
will close the show and it is expected
to bring down the house, as It will
be a distinct surprise. The Choral
and Concordia societies are too we'll
known to need further mention, as
are also the individual numbers on
the program. The show will be
snappy and full of dash and vim. and
nobody who attends can fail to get
his or her moneys worth. The cur
tain will go up at o'clock sharp
and the acts will follow one another
in true vaudeville style.
A novel act will be $50 Long
