got paper enough to write it on.

Japanese Tourists will delight the
theater-going people OF Seattle with
their wonderful performances and diff

the greatest success wherever he went.
Many on the Sound will remember that
performance with pleasure and will be
pleased TO learn that Little Ali Right"
of thirteen years ago, is now known as
Prince Schobbro, one of the greatest
athletes of the United States. The Lit
tie All Right of this company is not yet
four years old, and is wonderful per
former in his line. One member Of this
company does the human fountain turn,
which consists of balancing water in mid
air, feat never before attempted in this
section. The top spinning is also very
wonderful feat and well worth the price
