NEW ATTRACTIONS
At STATE FAIR
Water and Electricity viii Conn
bine In Providing an Inter
estlng Feature

One of the most novel and amusing
features on the pike at the coming
Minnesota state fair will be the en-
gagement of the much talked of Acre-
alton" attraction that will unques-
tionably prove brilliant success. The
performance consists principally of
just water. Incidentally Miss Gladys
Morrell is introduced in poses. The
water is thrown from every conceiva-
BILE direction. from above, from below,
from. either side and from every
angle.
During the flow of water from all
directions, there are played powerful
electric searchlights of 800 candle
power each, with the rays thrown
upon the playing streams. From
every angle the lights are manipulated
in such manner upon the thousand
streams in variegated colors, to make
the effect one of the most charming
and novel that has been introduced
with the same combination-hgh and
water.
The set for creation is beautiful in
the extreme. 1t consists of glass
staircase on either side leading to the
top of the pavilion. In the center is
a door where Creation Miss Morrell,
poses and ascending the glass stair
case in the midst of the flow from
thousand streams. During her aseen-
sion on the glass staircase the effects
produced are most beautlfulaand the
finale of the performance is a fitting
climax to all that is new and novel.
Animals Big Attraction
One of the big attractions at all ex-
positions and noted celebrations is IN
yariably the trained wild animal eX-
hibit Mr. Hurd, who is to be at the
state fair, has the greatest collectlon
of trained wild animals ever eXhlblted.
Every act that is presented IN the zoo
is considered by all animal trainers as
the acme of wild animal subJugatlon.
Thomas Hurd. manager of the tram
cd wild animal exhibition. the other
evening, in speaking of the trainers;
Cant. Ricardo, "the lion king, ana
Mile. Salina, particularly mentioned
Mile. Salinas wonderful performance
with the largest group OF Mons any
leopards that have been seen at one
exhibit cue. ~
"Without question Mile Salina, the
young. pretty and intrepid lion trainer,
who will be seen here with the Dig zoo
during the state fair, is the greatest
female lion subjugator the world mas
ever known said Mr.. Hurd. Her mas
terry over the mighty forest monarchs
is something which seems almost su-
perhuman Mile Salina loves her mons
and they love her as much as lion can
love hut they are lions all the same,
and their love. like all their other traits,
is to a degree a love of cruelty, cum
ming and treachery. Their very love
and the jealousy that accompanies 1t
NAV at any time cause one OF them
| to tear her to pieces, II she shoulo
chance to make too much over one OF
the Others
This summer in Detroit, Prince
sprang at Mile. Salina and nearly tore
her arm off. A regular stampede en-
sued. Schley bit her through the 'feg
and Dewey bit her in the head, pul got
a mUuthful of hairpins, hair and feath-
ers. and was glad to let go. When
| Prince attacked her, her favorite lion
ess. Julia. leaped at him and grabbed
him by the throat throwing him back
ward and away from her. Julia would
have bitten her in minute II she had
| felt ugly, and at the same time she
would go for anyone of the others
that did it.
"'The sensation of being attacked by
lion is awful, so Mile Salina told me.
When a lion straightens out his tail
| like a bar of iron and lays his ears
back. he means to attack you like a
cyclone. The only hope. for trainer
| when lion goes for him is to- go at
him quick. If trainer tries to es-
cape, he will spring on his back and
| kill him."
Mile. Salinas performance here dur
| ing the state fair will no doubt prove
| here, as elsewhere, one of the sensa-
tions of the entire list of attractions.
