July 4, 1897. "CURTAIN RUNG DOWN. Cherry Sister End Their Engagement Amid Showers of Potatoes".-- The Cherry Sisters closed their engagement at the Dohany last night, playing to a small but enthusiastic audience. The gallery was prepared to give the sisters a warm farewell and several small vegtable contributions were bestowed. Firecrackers were also set off in the house and the audience joined in the choruses in a spirited manner. When the disturbance began the Cherries declared they would not proceed with the performance, but when informed that they could not secure a settlement at the box office until the program was given in full they faced the music and the show went on. The potatoes thrown from the gallery were not delivered with a good aim and the sisters escaped uninjured without even dodging. As the curtain fell on the final tableau, an ink bottle dropped in onto the stange and came dangerously near striking one of Jessie's bare feet as she clung to the cross, but, like the potatoes, it was from a poor aim and spent its force against the wall at the rear. The next engagement of the Cherry's is at Keokuk. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
