Arrangements Complete (or Stunt That Will Bring .Local Stars Before Footlights. The “funfest” will take place tonight. Every seat in the Presbyterian church is expected to be taken and standing room at a premium. The first number of the program will start at 8 o’clock or just a little before. Promoter J. H. Holden has been .mighty busy getting everything ready and he says that his galaxy of Thespian talent will be the surprise of the local season in Rensselaer. Asked for a copy of the program, Mr. Holden said: , “The program consists of 22 numbers, more or less. It starts with No. 1 and ends with No. 22, -fen direct numerical order. lawyers, doctors, office holders and the prima donnas of the city are to take part, but the arrangement X do not wish to divulge at this time, nor the names of any of the performers. Tou can take It from me, however,

that every one will be on hand and their stunt will be worth the cost of admission.” The reporter gave up in discouragement any further effort to find out who or what the program consists of. * The admission is only 25 cents. The money goes to the cause of charity and the audience has Mr. Holden’s guarantee tfept the assembled talent will produce a program worth all that is charged.
