Unfortunately a very small audience was present at the perform- ance to hear the treat. If there are no more real music lovers in Bemidji than gréeted the Sonors unpmmtnkhtmofihcflnuflhnl- tivate the appréciation of a real high class produc- tion in this city. That Bemidji was put on the list of this com- paby’s performances has been & surprise to many. “They have been playing to capacity. houses in many of the large cities and words of praise have come from all sources with regard to their prodnefio Many light musical comedies have come’ to Be- midji which cost as much fo radmindion ‘as this cempany and have been greeted by packed houses, and it is hard to understand why so high ‘s class of entertainment as the Sonora company is giving should not receive stronger support. There have Been occasions when many of our citizens have gone te the large cities for the purpose of hearing'just sach talent as was ptesented last night and hsve paid three. times the price for admission, yet when the opportunity has been presente dto hm the talent at home it is not appreciated. The Grand theatre should be filled tonight, for two reasoms. First, in order to make it polliblo for the theatre management to .come out even in the financial obligation they face, and mondly, be- - «canse Bemidji people should not miss this oppor- tunity to hear the excellent program to -be pre- sented. Manager Harding deserves much 'better support .: than was given him last night. ‘He has ‘taken & big risk in bringing the company here and if ‘the proper support is given it would make it much enler to secure hlgh class productions in the future.
