Thomas Brooks Fletcher, one OF
the greatest dramatic orators of the
day, will give a lecture at the NJ E
church auditorium tonight as the
third number on the lyceum course
under the auspices of the Woman's
Study club. Mr.. Fletcher gave a
lecture in this city about a year age
and displayed so much ability that
his coming here has been much
awaited for. That the auditorium
will be crowded tonight is almost
certain, as it is expected that every
one will avail themselves of the op.
portunity to hear "this little giant
of the lyceum."
Bemidji in past. months has not
been the scene of very good vaude-
Vile. Some numbers have been fair
it is admitted, but as whole the
vaudeville has not been of the class
that Bemidji playgoers care to see
An announcement today, however,
will be greeted with much pleasure
by the city's playgoers. Manager
Harding of the Grand theater an
nounced that he has secured the Hip
podrome Vaudeville show for the
Grand theater to open this week,
Friday.
The Hippodrome vaudeville is sent
out by the Kellie-Burns agency,
which is the western representative
of Sullivan & Considine. Advance
reports are that this company has
the means of obtaining good vaude-
vile and that the acts to be pre-
sented her, are selected from some
of the largest circuits.
It is the intention of Manager
Harding to offer Kellie-Burns-H Hippo
drome bills on Friday and Saturday
nights Of each week. Each show
will be composed of four acts and
will reach here exactly as it starts
out from Seattle playing such places
as North Yakima, Walla Walla, Mis-
soula, Great Falls, Williston, Minot,
Devils Lake and Grand Forks.
The first attraction will consist of
Betty Barrows and company in a
lively comedy sketch; Dancing Wag-
ner, the boy with the careless feet;
the Albion Duo and the Nightingale
Trio, three girls in harmony sur
prises.
1t is hoped by playgoers that Man.
ager Harding has made a wise Sc
lection in choosing these acts and we
feel sure that if good vaudeville is
brought to this city it will bring a
worthy patronage.
