AND THE GAM E" Another Great Musical Comedy at the Parmele Theater Wed nesday, November 13. The Plattsmouth Players club met last evening at the M. W. A. hall and the meeting was largely attended and the members were treated to a jolly social gathering, as well as the regular business ol the club. The membership of the clut has grown so large that, it is im possible to meet at any private home, ho that it has become necessary to secure the Woodman hall for the llrst and third Wed nesdays of each month for the meetings, A most delightful program was given last evening after the busi ness session of the club, consist ing of vocal solos by Miss Zelma Tuey and Mrs. II. S. Austin, in a most charming manner, as well as two very pleasing readings by Misses F.llen Windham and Ber nice Newell, who are both pos sessed of great talent along this line. Following the program three new members were initiated into the mysteries of the club and then a delightful informal social lime was spent by the members of the club. The club is preparing for their new minstrel show, to be given soon, and have worked up an en tire new second part entitled "The (Colored Suffragette," and it prom ises to be one of the best at trac tions that has been produced in this city since their successful minstrel last season. New songs will lie secured for I hi' tuneful llrst, part, and with the talent late ly added to the club, it, ought to be an immense success. This is one of the greatest musical comedies on the road to day, and having an open dale, Manager Shlaes jumped at the op portunity of getting the company here on Wednesday night, Novem ber 13. The company is com posed of 'i people and every actor is an artist, in his or her line. This is said to be a greater amusement attraction than "The Prince of Tonight," which gave such great, satisfaction to our people a few nights since. The Journal desires to congratulate Manager Shlaes on bis good luck in securing such a noted ocmpany and feel almost assurred that bis efforts will lie rewarded by the presence of a large audience next Wednesday night. Having noticed in the papers the grand satisfaction "The Man, the flirl and the (lame" have been giving in other cities, we can truthfully recommend it in ad vance to our people as fine of the greatest musical comedies ever presented in this city. This com pany does not make a practice of playing as small cities as Platts nioiil.li, and therefore our people should appreciate Manager Shlaes effort in getting the best, to patronize them to the extent of giving him a big house, that other big shows may be induced to come to Plattsmouth. Ilemember the dale Wednesday, November 13 and don't fail to make your ar rangements to atlend.
