ADJUSTMENTS.
minneapolis Symphony Orchestra.

In securing the Minneapolis Sym
phony orchestra for Keokuk on Mon
day. April %, the Monday Music club
is trying the experiment or giving
two concerts in one day-one in the
afternoon and one in the evening.
This practically doubles the capacity
of the opera house, as the price fcr
two concerts-is only slightly more
than the price for one, and the Music
club is thus enabled TO make popu-
lar price for these concerts, which 1t
could not otherwise have done.
There will be an entire change OF
program for afternoon and evening,
with three of the six soloists appear
ing on each occasion
The price for both concerts is the
same. The afternoon entertainment
will be equal in every way to that of
the evening and both programs viii
be lighter and more popular in
character than those of any orchestra
which has lately appeared in keo-
kuk. They contain such numbers as
the "Barcarolle," from the Tales of
Hoffman," the Peer Gynt Suite"
and the beautiful dance of the
Hours" which the Russian Symphony
played here. The variety introduced
by the six soloists. all of whom are
artists of repute, added TO the lighter
character of the music played by the
orchestra, and the popular price
which the Monday Music club is en-
abled to offer, will make most at
!tractive combination.
( Tickets will be sold by Music club
members this week and next week.
Those buying in advance will be
given the first chance OF reservation.
! schusters New Bill Tonight.
"a Soldiers Bride" is the program
/ at the Grand tonight-the final ap-
pearance of Milton Schuster and his
\ big musical comedy company. Never
has show appeared in Keokuk that
has been the instant success, the
talk of the town as has this one.
At the two shows last night many
patrons were unable to gain admis-
sion until later in the evening, SO
great was the demand for tickets.
This is the first visit of the Schuster
company to Keokuk and already they
have been engaged for a longer ap
pearance next season.
Schuster has spent years in build,
ing his popular priced entertainment
up to It's present standard He now
carries twenty-six people including
besides the large chorus OF good
looking, good-dancing girls, a mum
Der of principals who can really
sing and dance, several good comedi
ans and a complete stage crew. The
Schuster costumes are many, varied
and fine-the stage settings are big
gorgeous and of best quality. Every
thing is bright and new. The Frisco
;uuartette is a big feature
An entire change of costumes, set
things and play appears in "a Sol
dier's Bride" for tonight. AS usual
there will be two complete shows
promptly at T:30 and 9 o'clock, al
the regular bargain admission prices
of 22c and 33c in the balcony, 33c
and 44c on the main floor. Prices
Include war taxes and all seats are
reserved
