THE GREAT WALLACE SHOWS.
Some Of the Difficulties a Circus
Must Contend With.

one of the greatest difficulties thai
the managers of the great modern cir
cuseS have to contend with is the
dearth of acrobatic equestrienneS. Not
one girl out of "a thousand who essays
the art ever achieves success. and not
one out Of IL hundred of those who
succeed ever attain eminence. In all
the world there is probably not more
than half IL dozen who are considered
truly great. At the head of this little
coterie of celebrities stands beautiful
Blanche Reed, this season under en-
Sagement to the Great Wallace shows.
In point of poise, grace, dash and
daring agility her riding simply detles
all description. Nothing she does looks
difficult. nor appears indeed to require
effort She is secure and as much at
home in her unstable position on the
heaving, bounding back of a galloping
horse as is a society belle on IA ball
room floor.
Her routine of repertoire of feats and
evOluiions is so varied that she can
completely change her act at every
performance for days al Il time. In all
she does there is naught that is COM
monplace, She scorns the ordinary and
abhOrs the conventional, In the ver-
nacular she begins where the Others
leave off, and ends in an unapproach-
able achievement of acrobatic agility
that is at once paradoXically unattain-
able and past belief unless seen with
ones own eyes.
She is with the Great Wallace shows
at Scranton ON Friday. May "a.
