Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 34, Number 69, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 29 April 1902 — The Library Entertainment. [ARTICLE]

The Library Entertainment.

The management of the Library Entertainment which will be given in the Opera House, May 9th. proposes to offer a minstrel performance that will outclass anything ever before attempted in this city. The services of Messrs. Orlen and Van Grant have been secured as end men, and talent like theirs is rarely seen in the profession. They have some great acts this year in the way of jokes, topical songs, burlesque and fancy dancing. Mr. Bert Rhoads has consented to act as interlocutor, and Messrs. Charles Fidler, Frank Meyer and Fred Parcels are the solo singers, assisted by a large and well trained chorus. Miss Mabel Huff and Mr. Herman Tuteur, both great favorites, will give some of their inimitable character songs in costume. Every one knows Mrs. Thompson’s fastidious taste in music and she has selected the songs with great care with a view of producing only the newest, latest and best.
