Last evening they were greeted by an

Startling Turn at the Dixie.

All doubts of the skeptlcal as to the
ability of Miss Brandon to accomplish
the marvellous feat of looping the loop on
a bicycle were removed at the Dixie
theater yesterday afternoon. when the
rider, after giving an exhibition of rid
ing upon "home trainer easily went
around the loop twice and came down
upon the stage unharmed. AS this is the
first time the act has been attempted In
public upon any stage. 1t naturally
created much interest, and many ner-
vous spectators turned away as the in
slant for the thrilling ride approached.
The loop the loop performance was pre-
ceeded by one of the best vaudeville bills
that has yet been seen at the Dixie. EX-
celent musical numbers were given by
Marion Manola, who sang with old-time
vigor. and Armour and Bagley, in the
"Gypsy Maid; Mr.. and Mrs. Perkins
Fisher delighted the audience in their
quaint sketch entitled 1.-The Halfway
House," and Fields and Wooley, Ger
man comedians and Wood and Ray, all
round laugh-makers assisted in the hui
NOR of the programme.
Probably the most successful laugh
raiser, however, is Jennie Yeamans, who
is certainly the funniest woman ever
seen on the Dixie stage. Her unique pre-
sentation of up-to-date slang and imita-
tions provoked almost continuous laugh
ter during her act. The bill this week
is undoubtedly the best yet presented.
