Big in St. Paul & Omaha

 

Omaha World-Herald, 14 July 1900.

Agnes Atherton kicked off the summer of 1900 on the familiar Palace Theater stage in St. Paul, Minnesota for a three week run in June before returning to Omaha, Nebraska. Two years before she had a long run in Omaha of shows in the summer and fall of 1898, and was highly regarded in both locations. Mullen's Concert Garden and Vaudeville Theater promoted Agnes as "burlesque queen".

I like the quote from the mid-July article, that she was "undoubtedly one of the best known and most popular performers ever appearing in Omaha" by 1900.
