“The Evolution of Song, Dance and Style,” will form the vehicle, upon which the annual Style Show, sponsored by New Ulm mercantile establishments, will be projected to hundreds of local people as well as other hundreds of visitors at Turner theatre upon the evenings of Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, March 2, 3 and 4.

The entertainment program will be divided into seven periods, depicting song, dance and style in the Stone Age, Egyptian, Colonial, Puritan, 1865,1900 and Modern periods.

Spectacular Costumes

The first number will be a dance of the Stone Age by Adam and Eve. There is much speculation as to who will impersonate these ancient characters, and just what style was in vogue in the period depicted. There is a wide range from the proverbial fig leaf gown to the skins of wild animals roughly held together by thorns and draped over the body. M. J.Bieber, who is arranging and directing the program, would give the Journal no inside information, further than to state the opening number might convey some surprises to those assembled to take in the spectacle.

“In the Shade of the Palms.”

The second period is the Egyptian. Ed. A. Stoll, local silver-voiced artist, will render “In the Shade of the Palms,” and will be assisted by an Egyptian chorus. The pyramids will be moved to the stage of Turner hall and the Nile will flow silently by.

The third period is that of the Puritan. Mrs. F. D. Minium and her chorus of Puritan maidens will delight the audience with the primness of their costumes and the sedateness of the songs of that period. It has not been given out whether any witches will be present or not.

Colonial Period

The fourth is the Colonial period and white wigs and knee buckles will, no doubt, be in evidence. Mrs. Herbert Schulke and her chorus of Colonial lads and lassies will render interesting song numbers and dances of this period.

The fifth period, that of 1865, with Miss Hazelle Macdonald and Richard Lindemann in their plantation songs and dances, supported by able assistants will put over something interesting as well as amusing. Rastus, with his “roll dem bones,” will, no doubt, be there.

The sixth period is that of 1900.This comes nearer the present and a double sextet of Gibson girls and boys will do their stunts.

Modern Period

Miss Thelma Rinke and Thomas Pfaender will be seen and heard in a modern song and dance role, while Minnie Radtke, Jerome Baer and Chas. Veeck will be the Jazz Hounds and put on the Charleston.

Evening Performances

There will be but one performance each day, at 8 o’clock in the evening. No seats will be reserved, so that those arriving early will have their choice. A great deal of advance interest has been manifest, not only by residents of this city, but by many out-of-town people, as well, and all indications point to capacity houses.

There will be no matinee, as was at first planned. Nothing but evening performances.
