A GoR.AoUS SPECTACLE.
Ringing Bros, New Military Dis
play Creates a Sensation.

y new patriotic military spectacle Is
the latest colossal novelty introduced
by the famous Ringing brothers as a
! prelude to their unlivaled world 5
greatest shows. There is something in
l human nature that demands beauty
and light and color. and which finds its
highest qualification in the glOries of
spectacular display. None knew this
| better than Caesar Augustus, Alexan-
| der the Great. and even Napoleon Bon
aparte, and these great leaders of men
and nations controlled the hearts and
won the loyalty of the people as much
/ by the magnihcence of their public
spectacles as by the power of their
! legionS. While partaking in a large
measure of the military character of
the times, the Roman and Greek spec
tacles artistically modified the glare
and panoply of war with the Sumptu-
Gus arts of peace, the sentiment of a.
classically poetic age, the love of lux
ury and the delight of the populace for
glittering display. In their new pa
triotic spectacle Ringing Brothers have
conceived and brought to realization a
display that daZzles while it delights,
that mingles startled wonder with graf
flied astonishment, that awakenS all
that is nobleSt and best in human ma
ture through the threefold intelligence
of the eye, the ear and the intellect.
The comprehensive and striking title of
Ringing Brothers new spectacle is
THE Last Days of the Century. or the
Light of Liberty but this does little
more than suggest the scope OF the
display or the possibilities of gorgeous
ornamentatiOn and brilliancy OF ap-
parel. The display is a magnificent re-
fiex of the regal SplendorS of the an
clients, combined with a vivid por-
traiture. upon a scale of unequaledl
magnitude, of the stirring events of the
hour Liberty is typified by a series
of allegorical tableaux, in which are
thrillingly pictured the genius of Amer
lean institutions and the glorious tri-
umphS of American arms on land and
sea. In the varied scenes of the spec
tacle there are utilized over a thousand
characters, representing with marvel
Gus fidelity in department and costum-
ing the military powers of the world:
whole troops of American cavalry and
entire battalions of jolly jack tars: her
Seventh regiment of huSsars.
the SWEETEST of England'S crack mill
tary organizations, led by their famous
mounted military band; squadrons OF
German uhlanS and French cuirassiers;
platoons of Russian Cossacks from the
Steppes; the imperial Bashi-Bazouls of
the sultan's bodyguard; a detachment
of Japanese soldiery and other military
all appearing in a ire
mendouS spectacular drama, in winch
the American Goddess of Liberty rises,
under the hallowed folds of the Stars
and Stripes. triumphant over the mill
tary powers of the world. This great
spectacle will be seen in all its mag
nificent completeness when Ringing
Brothers world-famOus circus exhibits
in this city Wednesday, May 81.

hoods love, is happily rewarded. In this
play. which has constituted one of the
most notable successes of the year, Mr..
Kelley and Miss Shannon have been pro-
vided with characters which reveal both
these talented artists in a manner which
gives them opportunities to bring out all
their sterling qualities. The company is
the original one. including thirty efficient
artists. and is the same which appeared
at Daniel Frohman's New York Lyceum
theatre for 125 nights.

The World Outside.

The notable event of the eastern stage
last sveek was of particular interest to
Salt Lakers. The long-heralded debut of
Maude Adams occurred at the Empire
! theatre. New York, before one of the
most brilliant audiences ever seen in the
I city. The evening was one continued tr1-
umDh for the star, who endeared herself
to the public as Lady Babbie, but who
place among the foremost Shakesperian
actresses of the day. Prophecy said that
Miss Adams was sure TO make the sue
cess OF her portrayal in the lighter
the interview with the nurse in the
garden How the prophets have missed it
is shown by the following from Hilary
Bell in the New York Press:
Once more the unexpected has occurred
in the theatre. Maude Adams, hitherto
associated in effort and the thoughts of
humor has dropped the mantle of mirth
and assumed with dignity, eloquence and
grace the Sombre robe of tragedy. Since
Adelaide Nelson's time we have had no
Juliet that would compare in anything
with the sad eyed Capulet by which Miss
Adams astonished and electrified the
Empire auditorium last night.
1t was indeed looked for that she would
come into prosperity of achievement in
the scenes with the Nurse, and those who
knew her best had most agreeable antici-
Dations of this new Juliets tender
episodes with Romeo
But-and here the miracle of the stage
took place-it was in the potion scene
that Maude Adams quit comedy and
claimed a place among the first tragedi-
ennes of modern times. Her claim was
allowed.
Another paper mentions that the Won
derful fact about Miss Adams career is
that. thus far. she has never failed in
single undertaking. Failure has been
proDhesied for her many times, but in
enced. Her Juliet is perhaps the greatest
triumph of her career, because il has
sienced more prophets than ever before
and physically she was not considered
the ideal of Shakesaeare's heroine. As
has been the case before, she has over
come all obstacles by the force of her
fine intelligence, and personal magnetism.
We of Salt Lake, whose townswOman
Maude Adams once was. are once more
raised to the highest pitch of enthusiasm
over her achievements. Next in point of
ton, came William Faversham as Romeo
and w. ii. Thompson as Friar Lawrence.
