it; all that results from contract with in.

PICARD TROUPE
OF -Four Daring AerialiStS Secured by
Norris & Rowe.

y
Norris Rowe.
One of the most attractive and endur-
ing features under the white tents OF a
circus arena is that of the aerial bar per-
formers. Even when the horizontal bar
act is performed upon the ground it holds
the undivided attention OF the audience,
but when these same horizontal bars are
placed high in the air and the same diff
cult and dangerous feats are accom-.
plished, then the act becomes of more
absorbing interest. Norris & Rowe, by
long experience realized the value OF
having the most skillful and renowned
artists that could be engaged to perform
this act, and so when they had the op-
portunity of engaging the Four Picard
Troupe they quickly grasped it and &C.
coded 10 the demands of the large salary
asked. That their judgment in the
selection was good, is evidenced by the
praise Of newspaper critics and the thun.
derous applause that greets the act in
every city played. The clean limbed,
graceful acrobats. flying through space
and accomplishing seemingly incredible
eats upon the elevated bars is most
fascinating. In conjunction with the
great host of other acts, Norris & Rowe
will present the Four Picard Brothers
here Thursday, May 81.
