Everywhere t"The Blue Bandits" has
been given by various posts through
out the country it has been nothing
less than a sensation and has been
pronounced by the leading papers Of
Wisconsin to have established an en-
tirely new standard for amateur
shows.

composed entirely byJno. McDonough,
a Wisconsin man and he has been
prevailed upon to come to Wausau

the very best singing, dramatic and
comedy talent is preferred and al
ready a large number of our local
stars have signitied their intention
to make "The Blue Bandits" sue
cess The cast and chorus include
about rs people.
The chief charm of "The Blue Ban
dts" lies in it's high class music and

plot which holds the audience in sus-
pense to the final curtain

thentic reports everywhere from

me to believe that with the high class
amateur talent we have here in Wau-
sau we will hive something worth
while to offer to our friends and the
ater goers on November 1st and End"
