Robin son Amusement Company fs Pro- vfding Novel Acts fer Street Fair o3 the FraternaI order of
 EaGIeu.

"I don't believe in putting up gilded front to show to draw the people to the inside. and then have them want their money back" said Dan R. Robin son. owner of the Carnival Company, playing for the Fratefnal Order of Eagles In Montgomery this week.
 And Montgomery people who have seen the shows that the Carnival Com pany is putting on under canvass re- a1ise that Dan Robinson means what he says. "
 T believe in Rutting less money on the front of my shows and more on the inside. continued the snowman, sand experience has taught me that this is the right policy both for myself and my patrons.
 Dan Robinson has a number of re- markedly clean. clever, and novel acts. His ideas of operating q successful carnival do not run to putting on "Ros- co, the Snake Eater" nor "Fatima, Queen of the Coochee Coochee." He rightly believes that these acts appeal to the lower elements.
 With the Robinson Carnival Com pany are clever musical performers. a remarkable transformation act, a fly ing woman. who is away above any thing of the kind ever seen in Mont gomery, several electrical perform ances that are new and clean and the fat boy and the turtle boy that every Fair would be Incomplete without.
 'The Mysterious Miss Jones" Is de- cidedIy the act that should be featured as a head1Iner. The management has provided Miss Jones' with an excellent outside free show. The crowd is drawn by . musical team inst would do we'll In any sort of vaudeville and the work of this couple during the en- tire performance Is worth the price Of admission. e
 Miss Jones's act is a great one. slm- liar acts have been seen before in Mont somery. It is the old flying womap act, but Miss Jones does more than to merely rise from the floor and move about. She does this, but as the per- formance progresses, she does a grace full dance in midair and concludes the performance with incredible swiftne ss, flies Into the audience and hovers over their heads. It is undoubtedly a ban- ner act.
