Entertainment 1959
In going through old newspapers, it appears that 1959 was
a year of much entertainment. The Community
Concert series opened with “ La Boheme” presented by the New York Opera
Company….. a presentation od “Mark Twain Tonight” was performed by Hal Holbrook
as a one man show ….. The Glen Miller Dance Band made an appearance at the
Municipal Auditorium ….. and the 5th Annual Y’s Mens Indoor Rodeo
took place. …… The Minot Community
Players presented a play, “Curious Savage”, directed by Mrs Cameron (Barb)
Mills….. The Water Follies performed at the Auditorium – the cost for the production
was $16,000.00 – the largest entertainment investment since the Auditorium
opened.
