GREAT BILL AT GAYETY FOR NEXT WEEK.
Six Head-Line Artists, The Favorites of the Vaudeville World Booked By Manager Barnes.
Ben F. Barnes, manager of the Gayety Airdome, has . entrusted the preparations for the 4th of July gala week program to Earle Reynolds, who
went to Chicago Monday and saw the acts and arranged for them to come here. Mr Reynolds is personally acquainted with all the first class vaudeville artists in the country and knows “what’s what” in that line. The show, as arranged by Mr. Reynolds, will be, without doubt, the best vaudeville ever produced in this section, and very probably there are more “head-liners” on the program for one show than any ever given in Indiana. Mr. Reynolds has seen every one of the acts and by wide experience his judgment as to their popularity could be unfailing. This show alone is worth more than all the carnival attractions combined and those who have never had the opportunity to see real classy artists in action, should come here to see the favorites of the vaudeville world.
The Al Kllest Orchestra has been engaged for the big week. It is absolutely the best vaudeville orchestra in Chicago. Al Kliest, who for years was the director of the Majestic orchestra in Chicago, will personally be here, commencing Monday, to conduct the orchestra all week. Wednesday night, and Thursday afternoon and night, the full orchestra of solo players will furnish the music part of the great “Gayety” show. ■ Three hundred reserve -seats for Wednesday night, and Thursday afternoon and night will be on sale at the box office of the Gayety theatre the coming Friday morning. The program is as follows, with morfe to be added:
Reynolds and Donegan, in their Coronation dancing and skating act. Huff ord and Chain, the Colored Parson and the Minstrel man. Absolutely the funniest act fever seen in Chicago or any other city. ...J_ (Marie Obermeyer, Chicago’s favorite singing comedian. The lady who sang “Moonlight Bay” at the convention hall and who made the republican convention ring with thunders of applause. Miss Mildred Nelson, the Lady Baritone. The lady who sings to beat the band all popular song hits of tb£ day. The Dancing Pirouettes, little ladies who dance.
