LAST Time TONIGHT OF
QUARTET At BRlhkMAN
The Bill at the Family Thesier Is Draw.
ing Large Crowds This - : =.
Week.

Tonight will be the last chance to
hear the famous Crescent City Com
edy Four, the male quartet at the
Brinkman Family Theater which has
made so big a hit with Bemidji's
theatergoers, and those who have
seen and heard them are very
DESTROYS of going again. They are
not only scream-provoking coined
ians, but they sing in very able
manner songs that are catchy and
tuneful. There have been big crowds
at the Brinkman all week, and the
attractions are such as to thoroughly
please all.
The Brothers DeVan, with their
two bright dogs, give an act that is
exceptionally clever; and the dogs
display almost human intelligence
In their part of the stunt. The back
somersault which the smaller dog
gives is a rare treat.
The motion pictures are better
than ever, and are exceedingly
dramatic.
The patrons of the Brinkman
Family theater are this week given
a SOC show for Csc; and the crowds
show their appreciation. You
should be on hand early for the last
appearance of the male quartet
tonight. ~

discuss the matter of selecting
teachers for the coming year and
also the policies to be adopted in
conducting school affairs under the
new management. It may be pos
sible that new departments may be
added to the present school work.

superintendent of schools. These
matters will be discussed at the

Grossman told Ginsberg that he had
better make clean breast of e.ery-
thing that would aid the investigation.

said that the man in the taxi was named

and he wanted 10 see if they would fol-
low the taxi. He insisted that although
Mrs. Wider was in the. cab her husband
was not. Ginsberg did not explain what
this deception was to accomplish.

he.
