MAYOR BROWN
OBJECTS TO
CAFE SINGERS

Through the office Of Mayor Dan
Brown have come complaints about
the entertainment offered ar the Ham
Lnond Automobile Show in Liberty
Hall which closes this evening
Manager George Knoerzer in reply
10 the objections today stated that he
was amazed and chagrined and felt
sure that the people who protested to
the mayor had not attended the show
or thev would praise instead OF criti-
cize. Mr.. Knoerzer assured Sam Hare.
manager OF Colisimo's Arrowhead Inn
who has provided the entertainment
free OF charge. that great majority
o. the people appreciated the perform
snces
NETRoPOLITAN OPERA SINGERS.
In fairness to the automobile show
It must be said that the entertainment
has been splendid and Of the highest
order. Last evening the hall was pack
ed with cu audience that listened In
rapt attention to selections from the
operas by artists Of quality. The mixed
ouartette from Colisimo's was made
UP OF singers who have appeared with
the Chicago Grand opera Company.
They began an enga cement in the
cafes after the close OF the opera seas
en-.
we donated our services to the
auto show" stated Manager Hare.
because the automobile public are pa
irons Of ours and we desired to show
them this courtes.'
MAYOR ATTENDS SHOW.
Mayor Brown paid the auto show a
Visit last night after telephoning
about the objections. but did not stay
to hear the entertainment. Mr.. knoer-
ger stated. Exhibitors resent the fact
that their show should be criticized
merely because the entertainment was
secured from the cafes.
Suppose I brought 4 girl act from
vaudeville house with lot Of half
dressed women and no talent" sug-
gested Manager Knoerzer. "Or had a
woman in white tights play an ac-
Gordon and sing in a squeaky voice
or presented some low comedians or a
vampire moving picturee Instead we
had singers and they were artists and
wish that people who knock a local
affair would see it and know what
they are talking about before they
start to use the hammer"
The rain this afternoon failed to
dampen the ardor OF the exhibitor
who prepared for the big closing
night. 4 ten piece orchestra viii play
and in addition local talent has been
secured, including a string quartette.
Exhibitors report many sales and
declare that in attendance. business
and enjoyment the show has been a
great and glorious success.
