Svenska Tribunen -- March 10, 1880Swedish Amateur Society.
The Swedish Amateur Society, Chicago was invited to appear at Timms Hall in Moline, Ill. with the comedy "Rockus Pumpernickel" Sunday, February 29th. The theater was packed to the doors and all the tickets were sold out in advance. The public greeted the artists with roaring applause.
A representative of the Swedish Tribune who was present, noticed that many prominent and respected members of different religious bodies had cast away the fear of damnation and in brotherly union with the so called "children of the world" attended the spectacle in the temple of Thalia to lay an offering on its altar from a sincere heart.
The Nordenskiold Society was the host of the occasion, inviting the artists of the play for supper after the spectacle.

Svenska Tribunen -- January 21, 1892The Vikings Inaugurate a Series of Popular Entertainment
The first of a series of soirees to be given by the Viking Society was held last Sunday at the Phoenix Hall, Division Street. More than five hundred persons attended this affair, which as to the quality of entertainment, was on a much higher level than most attempts by lodges in general. This event, which will be followed by similar ones each Sunday during the current season, was characterized by unusual refinement and orderliness, yet far from being stultified and tiresome.
Assisting on the program were the Orion Male Quartet, Miss Thunstrom, pianist, and A. Olson, folk lore reciter and comedian. An extremely pleasant added attraction was "Bror Sundeen" (Brother Sundeen) from Stockholm, Sweden; this gentleman was said to be a "Mind reader", and a mind reader he was. His experiments baffled all those present.
If this affair is an example of the high standard to be maintained by the Vikings, we are heartily in accord with their endeavors. The officers of the Society are: G. Myhrman, president; Alf Carlson, vice-president; P.S.Lunden, financial secretary; O. Anderson, recording Secretary; J. Ingemanson, corresponding secretary; and A. Soderlin, treasurer.

Svenska Tribunen -- July 17, 1901A Swedish Theater
Would it not be possible for a city like Chicago, that has more than 100,000 Swedish inhabitants, to have a Swedish theater? If one considers it from an economic standpoint, it is a sheer impossibility to give a play in the North Side Turner Hall, without giving a public dance to increase the receipts. The Swedish Theater Company gave some splendid performances last winter, and it is hoped that they will continue to entertain the Swedish public.
Consequently, an attempt will be made to give Swedish plays in the Studebaker Theater on Michigan Ave., commencing October 26, when "The Wedding in Ulfasa" is to be presented. Those responsible for the Swedish Theater taking this important step in the preservation of Swedish culture in America, 2are as follows: Othelia Myhrman, Christ Bursell, Ernst Behmer, Anna Pfeil, Anderson Wagner, Agnes Hedstrom, Ellen Graf, Hanna Hoitfeldt, Theresa Smalbarg, Mrs. Palmblad, Ernest Lindblom, Knut Schroder, Leopold Kjelland, Fred Balling, John Lindhagen, Chas. Erickson, and Carl Linneblod.

Svenska Tribunen -- August 28, 1901"Yon Yonson"
"Yon Yonson," a superlative play, was recently given at the Great Northern Theater. Its piquant situations, and its appealing romance, were much appreciated by the public.
This play will be shown regularly every evening, starting next Sunday, Matinees on Wednesday and Saturday, including Labor Day. The title role is played by Knute Ericson, who is said to surpass himself. His dialect is perfect, and this makes him an ideal "Yon."
The Lumberman's Quartet adds to the greatness of the performance. Popular prices are from 25 cents up.
