ROOSTER ORCHESTRA TO PLAY.
A Hand Of Living Fowls WIN Make Music
During the ExposltIon,


Much speculation has been INDUCED in
OF late concerning the appearance At the
Exposition IN October OF an orchestra
composed OF real live ROSTERS. Secretary
| Tyler has received great number OF in
quiries with reference to the novel attrac-
ton.
These ROSTERS were brought to America
IN February Of last year and since then
have been creating q sensation 10 the prin-
opal cities of the United States. They
first made their appearance IN Par15, ira
yelled over Europe. and added consldera-
bly, to the already wide reputation OF their
owner. Allilah.
ANY one who has had anything to do with
the training of birds or animals Will have
! some idea of the task Allilah had before
him when he undertook to educate ten
ROSTERS sufficiently to appear before an
audience as musicians. and this has been
accomplished with remarkable success.
/ That the entertainment has become
popular ~ evidenced 10y the fact that
the orchestra has been IN demand
| by showmen in ell parts of the United
States and have drawn crowds wherever
they have appeared. 10 bring II 10 Rich
mond necessitates considerable expense.
A description of the performance IA given
! IN Cincinnati shows what an interesting
| little company the ROSTERS are. One of
| the papers of that city IN its notice says
Eight roosteTs stood attired in full eve
ming dress with instruments in hand, in
Guiding YiOlins. bass- VOL, drum, cymbals,
| Curnet, and trombone. ready 10 strike up
a signal from the leader. The latter stood
| IN the o0ntre before his music-stand, his
| baton lifted, and he looked around over
| the audience and then surveyed his COM
pany of musicians with an indescribable
| air of pride. Suddenly he threw back his
| head and crowed loud and clear. The i'm
mense audience shouted with laughter. In
! front Of the orchestra a large rooster RAM
! bled about IN busIness-hko wav, which
the lecturer explained by introducing him
| as the business manager. The superin-
| tendent, a small pertinacous bantam,
strutted about also in front of the musi-
| clans and occasionally crowed.
| After Professor Stanley had introduced
| the various members of the orchestra,
which included Thomas Gilmore aud Fa-
canini. the leader gave a signal and the
orchestra. guided by some concealed pow
or, struck up popular air and PLAYED 1T
| through with perfect harmony. Even the
Growing of the ROSTERS, who seemed so
proud of their musical accomplish
ments that they could not help con-
/ tinually cOck-a-doodling about 1t, seem-
/ ed to harmOnlZe with the music
/ produced on the instruments. After "a
| few airs played by the orchestra the lee
turer introduced the famous Mr. McGlnty
and up went another CURTAIN disclosing
rooster comedian, vocalist, and dancer.
| While the rooster orchestra played he sang
| that popular song, "Annie Rooney grace
| fully gestIculatlng the while.
| Then the orchestra struck up horn
pipe and the grace and agility with which
he danced put 10 shame half the song-and-
dance people on the vaudeville stage"
