schreuer,s R.de at The Coliseum.

At the Coliseum, at Fourteenth and
East Capitol Streets, all this week A. NJ.
schreyer Will perform the feat of riding
bicycle down a chute 100 feet high and
go feet long, terminating with dive
65 feet through midair into tank Of
water. The last feat IS said to be the
most desperate OF all, as Schreyer
springs from his wheel when 20 feet
above ground and the machine follows
him into the tank. For several days
past a gang OF men has been at work
in the construction OF the chute, and as
an example of mechanical ingenuity it
is worthy OF inspection. Schreyer from
his lofty perch of 100 feet is said to be
as cool as if in cold storage. He makes
his preparations for his dangerous jour
ney through the air as il the possibili-
ties Of an accident were no greater than
ride in a street car.
Another of this weeks Coliseum bill
will be W. H. Hill's hlgh-wirc cycle act.
Hill rides on a wire 100 feet above
ground and gives a performance that IS
said 10 be full Of humor and daring. II
is in direct contrast to the Schreyer
ride. The three Rios will do flying
ring act on the big stage. The Ever
cite trio of acrobats viii go through a
series OF feats. Bush and Bush, the
clown acrobats. will give funny spe-
cial;y, and other acts viii extend the
bill 10 generous length. Dancing in the
pavilion will be enjoyed after the cir
Gus.

OF the Coliseum opon-air program for

Mansfield IS PesSimistiC.

Richard Mansfield has discovered and
announced to the world through the me-
dium OF signed letter to New York
but none the less surely disappearing.
In fact. Mr. Mansfield makes the rather
startling statement that il will entirely
disappear in the not distant future. Mr..
Mansfield does not make any prediction
as to dates etc, and refrains from men
ticning the interesting fact that he will
leave the American stage to struggle
on the best it can three years hence.
Mr. Mansfield takes the position that
to be successful on the stage an actor
should be possessed Of these requisites:
Good eyes. good teeth (minus gold
filing. a good figure. a good voice (cui-
tivated by competent teachers) and a
slight knowledge OF the French lam
guage (sufficient to pronounce properly

Considering that the peace treaty
