Imperial Russian Dancers.
The pride of an emperor and the
joy of many kings, the fad OF two
continents and the happy anticipation
of Pensacola, the Imperial Russian
Dancers from the Metropolitan opera
house, New York, are at last definitely
announced for a local visit.
Manager Nick Smith of the opera
house has secured this wonderful Or
ganization for a single performance
on Thursday. Feb. Sth. No attraction
booked for the current season is so
fraught with interest as this all star
ballet, headed by III. Alexander Volt
nine, Mile. Halina Schmolz and, half
a hundred artistic compatriots. NO
foreign attraction that has visited
America ever has had so warm q re-
ception as has been accorded the Rus
sian dancers both at the metropolitan
opera house and en- tour. AT the for
mer, the seating capacity of Americas
temple of art was the daily measure
of business, and the same standard
has held true Of practically every
theatre visited.
While the interest that attaches to
the Russian dancers springs primarily
from the wonderful artistry OF the
visitors, they came to American under
very unusual circumstances. Trained
for the edifcation OF an emperor,
Gar Nicholas, they have been sent by
their imperial master to most OF the
courts of Europe, where they have ap-
peare6 by imperial command as
compliment to the reigning monarchs
Subsequently they appeared in public
with triumphant success in Pans
Berlin and more recently throughout
the United States.
The tour now in progress is Incl

selected as the medium for the eX-
preston of their wonderful artistry.

opera, THE Tales of Hoffman"
A complete symphony orchestra ac-
companies the dancers.
Creators's Band.
The press and public are unanimous
in acknowledging that there is no
better concert band in America than
the Creatore organization, and the
of Creatore's ability. He is a musical
artist of the very highest order, with
more brilliant ideas of Interpretation
and moro startling results in effect
| than the American public has ever
before had an opportunity to contem-
| plate. Elaborate comments have been
| made regarding the soulful feeling and
artistic temperament so strongly
shown in the music that responds to
Creatore's baton. He is unique and a
revelation in his line SO that new
| beauties, novel ideas and q variety OF
| charms are shown in his successful
leadership. The pre- eminent and dis
tirguishing feature of Creatore con
| cert is it's enjoyable quality. This
splendid organization will appear here

"Buster Brown"
At the opera house Wednesday, Feb.
7th, the billboards announce we are
to have Buster Brown" his dog Tige,
his father. his mother. his grand
mother, Mary Jane, and his large
retinue of pretty girl friends. BUS
ter Brown is the most successful hero
of the pictorial fiction. Successful as

when idealized upon the stage. This
| success can be attributed to the fact
/ that the many strenuous events of his
many sided career appeal to everyone
| in an audience, from the ragged
urchin, perched up in the gallery, to
the staid man of business occupying
the higher priced seat below. Every
one who sees Buster recognizes the
human nature in him. The boy de-
