LE BARGE PROVED EX
TRAORDINARY ARTIST
HE HAS A MARVELOUS COMMAND
OF SEVERAL DIFFERENT
LANGUAGES.
John A. Le Barge, who appeared at
the Grand Theatre last evening, is au
extraordinary artist, to say the least
Genius if found everywhere but we
have no record of an individual hav
ing his artistic versatility. The man’s
international standing as an artist is
well known and honestly earned. He
is a splendid instrumentalist, using
the violin, banjo, mandolin, and many
novelty instruments, including the
xylophone, the broom fiddle and oth
ers. He handles only the -very best
of music in a way that gives great
pleasure to the most cultured musi
cians as well as to the masses. He
has a few equals as a story teller. He
has a marvelous command of the Irish
Italian. French and other dialects. He
is specially strong in French as he
is a FTench-American. Besides, he
is a magician of several years’ ex
perience, presenting a variety of
s’:ght-of-hand tricks and legerde
main. All in ail, his performance last
evening was a revelation.
Mr. Le Barge will repeat the per
formance this evening again and nay
remain in town several days befo'v’
proceeding on his way. He said this
morning that he had traveled the
world over and was glad to visit Al
aska.
The only thing sadder to contem
plate than a disillusioned married
pair who are tired of one another is
a disillusioned bachelor who is tired
■ of himself.
