The Flying Jordans sprung a sensation on
the theater-going public at Roster & Balls
New York, last week. Their daring trapeze
performance has become the talk of the town.
They introduced for the first time triple
somerset and catch. 1t had little or no ad-
vance announcement, and, quite naturally,
electrified the audience who it for the
first time. more tumultuous scene has

followed it's successful execution. The princi-
pal in the act is pretty, petite brunette girl
about fifteen years old. She is held by the
hands by Mrs. Jordan, who is suspended by
her feet from the trapeze at one end of the
auditorium. They swing to and fro in the
air a number of times, gradually increasing
the force of their momentum. When the
proper point is reached the little girl is flung
out into space, spins around like ball, MAX
ing three distinct somersauts and, as she
comes down the last time, she darts out her
outstretched arms, and her hands are grasped
by Mr. Jordan, who is dangling by his feet
from the trapezea suspended just above the
stage 1t is a hair-raislng performance the
like of which has never been seen in this
country.

attended the Harrigan openings these many
years, will be on hand.
I could almost call them off to you now. 1
venture to say that hardly one will be alb

Only little less vociferous will be the rec

from beneath the stage and tries to make his
way quietly to the conductors chair. But you
can't do it. David. and you needn't try to-;
the old boys will be ION to- you before your
more or less venerable head is out of the
doorway half foot. and the windy chorus OF
cheers will gayly blow what is left Of your
more less venerable hair half off
your head. Then they viii settle back in
their seats and keep time to the music in the
unconventional free-and-easy style that is
acknowledged to be the correct thing in the
orchestra chairs on these occasions. while
the new tunes that your overture will give
us will forecast the popular songs that we
shall hear after the curtain goes up. And

| gallery with the customary Comanche war
whoop of approval and the ear-piercing
whistle OF Endorsement from the rising and
