E. church auditorium tonight as the third number on the lyceum: course under the auspices of the Woman’s Study club. lecture in this city about a year ago and displayed so much ability that his coming here has been much awaited for. That the auditorium will be crowded tonight is almost certain, as it is expected that every- one will avail themselves of the op- portunity to hear ‘“this little giant of the lyceum.” Bemidji in past months has not been the scene of very good vaude- ville. Some numbers have been fair, it is admitted, but as a whole the vaudeville has not been of the class that Bemidji playgoers care to see. An announcement today, however, will be greeted with much pleasure by the city’s playgoers. Manager Harding of the Grand theater an- nounced that he has secured the Hip- podrome Vaudeville show for the Grand theater to open this week, Friday. The Hippodrome vaudeville is sent out by the Kellie-Burns agency, which is the western representative of Sullivan & Considine. Advance reports are that this company has the means of obtaining good vaude- ville and that the acts to be pre- sented her: are selected from some of the largest circuits. It is the intention of Manager Harding to offer Kellie-Burns-Hippo- drome bills on Friday and Saturday nights of each week. Each show will be composed of four acts and will reach here exactly as it starts out from Seattle playing such places as North Yakima, Walla Walla, Mis- soula, Great Falls, Williston, Minot, Devils Lake and Grand Forks. The first attraction will consist of Betty Barrows .and company in a lively comedy sketch; Dancing Wag- ner, the boy with the careless feet; the Albion Duo and the Nightingale Trio, three girls in harmony sur- prises. It is hoped by playgoers that Man- ager Harding has made a wise se- lection in choosing these acts and we feel sure that if good vaudeville is brought to this city it will bring a worthy patronage.
