rooms vigorously swimming in u tank.
She Is to rescue somebody from a watery

No one hears very much about Brothers @.
II. and l.. M. Gardiner. The reason il that
they pursue the tenor of their way unosten-
tatiously, but their business is none the less
important or successful on that account.
Yesterday they quietly announced that they
had secured Dorst and Oreste, the dancers.
for The Arabian Nights" These athletic
dancers had been and areyet in Chicago with
tute one Of the principal attractions Of the
piece. For two months the Messrs. Gardner
have been calmly trying, TO secure them. At
last they have succeeded. They also man
aged to get Miss Loie Fuller when she was
pretty generally wanted. This Arabian
Nights" company will cost the GARDENERS
50, 400 per week. In order to come out even
they must play to 50, 600 worth of business
! each week.
