HARVEY MINSTRELS
ARE HEADED BY
EXPERIENCED MEN

The Harvey Greater Minstrels was
oranized and is owned by r. M. Har-
vey, we'll known circus man who
has for years been spending money
in the circus business like money was
water.
The expense of building an amuse-
ment enterprise does not disturb him
because as manager of one of the
greatest circus enterprises on the
road he learned it is only by the Law
ish expenditure of money that success
can be attained. Hence it is not sur
prising that Harvey's Greater Min
strels wear the swellest, most expen-
sive wardrobe ever worn by any min
strel and also that it's olio of seven
acts of vaudeville include specialties
not to be outclassed anywhere and
the members of this minstrel are
highest salaried and the best treated
of any minstrel fnen on the road
the result is the best entertainment
with hundreds of would-be patrons
turned away five nights out OF the
week. 1t seems impossible to hnd
opera houses large enough to accom-
modate the crowds who want to see
Harvev's Greatest Minstrels-moral,
buv your seats as early as possiDie
or attend the matinee.
This company will be at the LyriG
theatre Friday and Saturday, Aprll
4 and with popular price matinee
Saturday.
