! With one of the best amusement
programs ever offered at state fair
or exposition, the North Dakota State
Exposition, "Hogs and Hominy," open
ed yesterday at Bismarck under the
auspices of the North Dakota Agricul-
tural Association.
Some $40 people passed through the
gates. Many Of these were children
of the Seventh grade, who visited the
Exposition through the courtesy Of
! the management. They were in
charge of Supt. G. c. Root, and Miss
B. Anderson and Miss Agnes Boyle,
teachers.
~. Pupils Are Orderly.
They inspected the exhibits and
then attended the vaudeville and
movie program in the theater, were
unable to see the Bumper Harvest"
movies because part OF the film has
been delayed. Therefore they will re.
turn next Thursday afternoon. The
orderly way in which the pupils COZ
Quoted themselves was very pleasing
to the management.
The two movies shown were "A
Concrete Romance" and "The East
land Disaster" Tho first named tells
! a pretty story of how an ill-kept farm
with ramshackle frame buildings was
remade with a complete equipment Of
concrete buildings, and incidentally
how college farmer won a fair bride.
The films of the Chicago steamboat
tragedy are, according to experts, the
best pictures of the catastrophe that
were taken. They show the divers
going down after the bodies and the
fatal boat raised. "
The Fire Eaters.
But the vaudeville program was the
real feature of the day. Four acts, all
of unsual excellence, were offel ed.
One of the most sensational acts
ever seen is that of the fire-eating
Nagsbys. They are billed as the DEM
ons of fire and gas. They eat melted
wax squirt fire, explode smokeless
powders in their mouths, as the hu-
man touches, furnish fuel for lamps
and gas jets. They place carbons
heated by electricity to e800 degrees
into their mouths. The red light in
which they do their act heightens the
uncanny effect.
Marguerite Clever Singer.
Marguerite, clever little singer
with sweet childish ways, captured
her audience from the outset. She
gave pleasing limitations of noted act
ors and prima donnas singing the
same song. Another hit was the dem.
onstration of the two ways of singing
a rag song, with "Somebody Rag With
Me" as the song.
Miss Butler PIeases.
Richly costumed, the Royal Hussars
in the opening number were another
instant hit. The six young women
instrumentalists of no mean accom-
plishments. The soloists with the
company, Miss Butler, With particu.
larly pleasing soprano voice, was en-
cored many times. She showed her
versatility by singing delightfully."- both
classical and popular songs.
Crown City Four Late.
The Crown City -Four did not arrive
in time for the afternoon performance
because of delay of trains, but they
were on in the evening and were re.
eived as enthusiastically as the other
acts. Their many comedy "stunts"
appealed to all and their singing was
just as popular.
What Is II, Dollar Man?
There was a wealth of melody at
the Exposition all day. The Bismarck
Elks' band gave three concerts on the
band stand just west of the big build
ing. The Bells Italian Harp Orches-
ira gave three concerts inside the
building. w. T. Miller, Bismarck's
