CLAMANS AND HIS GO, ARRIVED THIS MORNING The “Are You Crszy” Players Have Made Big Hit All Along’ the Line. B. Claman and his most excellent company of players who will this evening present at the City Opera House the roaring farce comedy, “Are You Crazy,” arrived in the city this morning and are well refreshed for this evening’s performance. The band which the company carries is a good one, and the orches- trais one of the best that ever played here, they having a fine pro- gram of classy music. This company played at Grand Forks Christmas matinee and night and returned to the “Forx” two weeks later, and _they have a third engagement for Monday night, May 31 (Decoration day.) They gave fine satisfaction at the “Forx” and should please Bemidji people. B. Claman is the principal come- dian, and he i3 said to be a whirl- wind fun-maker. He has played all through C. P. Walker’s Canadian circuit, including the Winnipeg thea- ter and is a fine actor. The performance given by Clam an’s players is well worthy of the patronage of Bemidji people. Attention, Company K.
