all his characters from his dressing

The second number viii come on

well pleased that he was asked to ap-
pear again. DR.. Gray will remain in
the city over Sunday and will preach
in one of the local churches on Sun
day.
On December, 10 the third number
will be given. It will be an enter
tainment given by local talent and
can be relied upon to be of the same
high standard that Surrey people have
been used to. :

a company of four young ladies in a
concert extraordinary will appear
here. This is perhaps the best num-
Der ever brought to Surrey and the

of North Dakota, will lecture. DR..
McVey has pleasing personality and

For the closing number an effort is
being made to secure the Girls Glee
Club of the University of North Da-
kota. This is an organization of &c
voices. They are all trained must
clans. The program which they pre-
sent is little short of wonderful. If
the sale of season tickets warrants it
they will be brought here without a
doubt.
Although the number Of entertain
ments have been increased and the
standard raised, the tickets will sell
at the same price. The season tic
ket for one person remains at $1.00,
and the family ticket, admitting a
man, his wife and all children under
Is will sell for $500. The single ad-
mission tickets will sell for 25c with
the exception of the Playsingers and
the Girls Glee Club, for which SOC
will be charged. Thus buying a sea
son ticket will save the purchaser
$1.OO.
All the entertainments will begin at
8 o'clock with the exception of the
first two. These come on Saturday
night and will be started late enough
to allow all to get in from the thresh-
ing machine.

course Of this kind to Surrey, and it
is hoped that all the residents will not
only patronize, but boost for it as
well.
