BAVARIAN PLAYERS.

The Bayarian players who term
Themselves the "BerChtesgadner
Bauern," will make their appearance
at the Illinois theatre next Friday
night. These picturesque people call
themselves the Berchtesgadner Bau-
ern ensemble, and are players in ev-
cry sense OF the word says the New
York Herald. They enact a repertOTy
OF folkpIays with d naive realism that
is the essence of art, and they execute
music like bird songs ana the breeze
on weird instruments such as the Ba-
Varian either, the huge double-string
ed guitar, and the violin laid fiat on its
back. with its neck on the edge of a
table. 1t is the sort Of orchestra one
sees in the cafes Of Munich and Wen
