Numerous reaearsals for the Nauti-

faculty and students of Fargo conserv-

performance promises to be one of the
best Of it's kind ever given in the city.
Ever since Miss Louise Cunning has
been under the management of the
Messrs. Shubert the pieces in which
she has played have been signal sue
~cesses. In the musical comedy field a.
star usually discards a play after one
season. Not so Miss Cunning. Four
seasons ago she appeared in Marcelle
and it was three seasons later when
the piece was laid aside. 1t is the
same in the case of The Balkan Prin-
cess which served Miss Cunning all
last season. She is again appearing in
the same piece and will be heard at the
Fargo operahouse on Thursday even
ing with a supporting company which
includes Geraldine Malone, Miss Intro
pidi, Teddy Webb. Mark Smith, Lillian

Manager Webster made a ten strike

is Offering his patrons, even the or
chestra has some extra fine overtures.
The pictures are way above the av-

bill is Musical Kleis's. the family of
four, featuring two of the
child musicians ever seen in this city.
These youngsters play dificult selec-
tons on various instruments. and one
of them gives very laughable imita-
tons Of Creatore and John Phillip
Sousa, the famous band masters.
Their act last night was applauded TO
the echo, and their cute actions as
well as the beautiful music thew made
made, a decided hit with the audience.
Davey, DeMusey and Getsey, in their
turn, Three Boys and a Piano. were
a strong feature. These boys are
excellent ragtime singers and superb
dancers, and the way they put on
their stunt was decidedly original
They had to respond to four or ave
encores, and the crowd seemed to
never get enough of them.
Harry Glenn in his rube comedian
stunt came up to the average OF fea-
lures of this kind. His songs were
original and rendered with a clear
ness Of articulation that made every
word easy of understanding in the
most remote parts of the auditorium.
His makeup was good, and he received
many encores.

ORGANIZATION IS o.. K.
TaIeett Sees Bright Future for County
Fairs-5etter Races and Amuse-
ments Promised.

Grand Forks Times: "The organic
alton of the county fair associations
will be a mighty good thing for the
promoters as well as the taxpayers, I
believe" said Frank s. Talcott, seere-
tary of the North Dakota State Fair
association for Fargo, at his hotel in
Grand Forks this morning.
The meeting OF the various secre-
taries in Fargo last week was most
encouraging in every respect. There
was a great get-together spirit hewn
and much interest manifest in this
work which means so much to the
state.
The resolutions adopted by the
representatives of the Livestock
breeders association present were a
GOOD thing These resolutions will re-
wise premium lists Of the various fairs
N a certain degree that will appeal
more strongly to the exhibitor and
make the fairs more popular.
ITO have the fair dates follow each
otner and to have the fairs about the
same time will mean better races and
better amusement attractions all along
the circuit, This getting together was
just what was needed at this time.
This year will see more complete and
greater fairs throughout the state
than ever before. In working togeth-
er things q be accomplished that
ould not be attempted il every fair
association was pulling in the wrong
direction. The fair associations seem
70 De on the right track now and the
secretaries are better able to proceed
Wild their business. There Is no rea-
son why North Dakota fairs annot
DC the best in the land"
