The Savannah morning news., 1901-11-04

where the thirsty can comfort them
| selves with German brew, while wit
! Messing a vaudeville performance, Ty
! rolean MARBLES and German comedians.
No. is the Girl Up There. The ever
! mystifying feature of the Midway is
| the flying lady, who, while under hyp-
/ motto influence is made to fly through
space, performing many feats during
her aerial voyage.
No. is the French Theater. Here
will be shown a series of living pic
lures, reproductions of art, music,
dances and poses.
No. is Hagenbeck's Trained Wild
Animals. This will undoubtedly prove
to be the most interesting and instruc-
tive entertainment of the entire Mid
way, with its performing lions, tigers,
panthers, leopards, hyenas, polar, Rus
sian and American black bears. A fea-
ture for women and children, four baby
lions, born in Atlanta while the Mid
way was exhibiting at the fair two
weeks ago, will be shown daily in
miniature steel arena where all can
fondle for once in their lives four
kings of beasts.
No. is the Streets of India This
attraction scarce needs an introduce
ton, as many will remember 1t at the
knights of Pythias Fair two years ago.
Mr.. Conley says that the Streets of In
dia will be strongers than ever be-
fore
No. 7 is the Streets of Cairo, which
will be much in evidence with their
Oriental sword fighters, gun spinners
and jugglers, portraying in a vivid
manner the customs and sports of the
far-off Orient.
No. 8 is the Statue Turning to Life.
This exhibition caused more favora-
BILE comment from Atlanta papers than
any other attraction on the Midway
and will undoubtedly be equally as
popular here as in all the large cities
of the country. The Terre Haute Elk
press speaks of it as follows THE
Statue Turning to Life is easily the
feature of all the pay shows OF the
fair When the curtain rises a beauti-
full marble statue is shown, a hand APP
pears and the head is taken off from
the shoulders and then replaced. Then
gradually. before your eyes, an mani
mate piece of marble is turned into
beautiful living woman How 1t is done
no one can explain. 1t takes place be-
fore your very eyes. Next, before you
can realize it, the young woman is
suddenly transformed into a beautiful
floral design, from which young
man plucks a handful of fresh roses.
The roses fade from view and slowly
the lady once more appears, but only
for a moment, when she is gradually
changed again to the stone lady"
No is the Electric Theater Here
is to be seen the Campbell Sisters in
dances Of flame, steam and vari-col-
ored lights.
No. 10 is the International Congress
of Dancing Girls. This was also one of
the interesting features of the Knights
of Pythias Fair. Girls from all nations
will dance the dance of their native
lands
No. II is the Dog, Pony and Monkey
Circus. Performing dogs, ponies and
monkeys always prove highly interest
ing and amusing to the ladies and chill
dren, and will come in for large
share of the patronage of pleasure
seekers visiting the Midway.
No IL is the Ferris wheel. Here all
who are tired of life will have a chance
to get off the earth. The wheel will af-
ford an opportunity for all to obtain a
birds-eye view Cd the entire falr
grounds and surrounding country.
The price of admission to the Mid
way will be ten cents That will mean
that the free performances may be
witnessed without additional cost, and
that the pressure, the JOY and the de-
lirium of the throngs inside may be
enjoyed. Admission to each of the
Individual shows will be ten cents, save
to the wild animal snow, where the
cost will be 20 cents for adults and
10 cents for children.
With the twelve shows there are $50
people. Col. Frank GaskiIl, the pro-
prietor will be here and the best per-
formances of which the company is
capable will be presented. Mr.. Conley
is greatly encouraged by the outlook
and thinks that there will be crowds
at the Fair every day, which will mean
that there will be plenty of business
for his show
