girl is the apple of his eye. In his opin-

In the acrobatic line the celebrated
Carpos brothers will furnish one of the
best turns that has ever been seen in
this city. They are head balancers and
equilibrists, very similar to the great
Panther brothers who made such a hit
here several months ago. and are said
to be equally as good. Their act in
cludes many of the difficult feats of the
Painters, and numerous other ones
equally as clever.
Unthan the armless wonder is also
among the new attractions. He is the
greatest European novelty that has
been imported this year and will make
a decided hit with his marvellous per-
formance. He is cornetist of no mean
ability and though handicapped by the
loss of both hands can play a solo that
would rival most of the best known cor
netists. The more difficult feat of play
ing the violin he also accomplishes and
with the most pleasing results. Other
wonderful tricks are contained in his
novel act and it is safe to predict for
Unthan a very enthusiastic reception
and continued engagement.
A dash of comedy will be added to the
bill by the two rollicking black-face
comedians. Riley and Hughes. They are
billed as Americas favorite plantation
dancers. The sort of entertainment
which they furnish is always agreeable
and when it is given in the manner that
these clever fellows give it, it is bound to
take big.
Another child wonder will be the 10
year-old actor and mimic, Walter Leon,
said to be the greatest impersonaSpr on
the stage. He is not only a wonder on
account of his age, but an artist whose
work would merit the highest possible
praise even if given by grown person
schooled for years in the dramatic art.
Leon is novelty and will probably be
as big a favorite as the show affords.
The hold-overs for this week are: Lew
Hawkins, the clever singing and talk
ing comedian and Miss Annie Suits. the
beautiful little song and dance artistic.
