There is a rich treat for Harris theater patrons, for to-morrow night the Wilbur Opera company will open the week with that tuneful, frolicsome, racy operatic creation, "Griofle-Girofla," which has always been a reigning favorite wherever and whenever well produced. It has been so long since St. Paul people enjoyed its flavor and sparkle that the practical revival at the Harris will be one of the most profitable ventures of the season. In the title duality Susan Kerwin is said to be decidedly at her best, and the famous drinking song, "See How It Sparkles?" will be long remembered as one of her best efforts. Certainly she has the verve and chic, as it were, to make a hit in the part. Mr. Kohnle is booked for Don Bolero, a part in which he is always at home, having played it innumerable times. The Moor, Mourzouk, fall to the lot of competent Harry Tre Denick, and J. E. Conley will make a handsome Morasquin. The others of the cast are: Pirate Captain, J. H. Jones; Aurore, Cora Batton; Pedro, May Baker; Paquita, Lillie Taylor. The opera is unusually entertaining in character, and the general effect will be enhanced by pretty costumes. The usual matinees will be given Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. On Aug. 18 Cleveland's minstrels appear during a brief engagement, with Billy Rice, Sweatnam and other favorites, old and new, in the lead.

It is a long, sparkling list of entertainment that the museum offers to its patrons to-morrow. The curio hall will have such interesting people as Charles Mack, famous as the fire king; Willie Webaher, the boy musical wonder; Walter Stewart, the armless artist, and Zatka, the Zulu warrior. Willie Wbester has command of a dozen curious instruments which he plays with equal ease. Mack, the fire king, is a master of his curious art. He eats fire like food, drinks it like water and breathes it like air.

In the theaters are Herres the magiaud Mme. Claire, not a spiritualists, but the master of the medium's art. She performs all the physical tests to which mediums are subjected, and does the still mysterious and inexplicable cabinet tricks. In the lower theater the Morres will present a little sketch in which they introduce themselves on skates: Aldrich and Kimberly. Alfred Liston, Kissel, the master of the Zouave drill, and many others have been secured for the lower theater variety entertainments.

St. Paul will have a literary treat to-morrow night, in the form of an entertainment at Central Park M. E. church. The central figure will be Miss Hallie Q. Brown, the famous elocutionist, in tragic, pathetic and humorous readings. Probably no elocutionist is better known nor has received more general flattering comments. She will be assisted by the best local talent in making up an interesting entertainment. There will be no admission fee charged.
