Unique this week their pretty act de-
scribed as "The Aerial Cyclist and the
Soubrette,'' an athletic novelty which
has won the greatest favor in all the
popular priced vaudeville houses of the
east. While riding "bike" on a
wire, De Shields with the aid Of Miss
Mehring, executes some astonishing
feats. The act is particularly snowy
and one Of the most pleasing now be-
fore the public.
In the comedy ine,a the Quinn Trio,
the bright children who captivated au-
diences at the New York hipporome last
season, will have prominent part. The
Quinns are pretty big children, but
they still retain the name that brought
them fame. They have many new

favorites who have made an excellent

has never been seen here. Steve ~Jen-

been highly successful, is also down for
10-minute talk which is warranted to
be anything but prosy.

CHEVALIER GUILE
Is WITH LIBERATI
Famous ''Little Man With the Big
Voice" Accompanies Band as Tenor
Soloist.

Local patrons of music will recog.
nize familiar figure in the Chevalier
Albert L. Guile, who will be the
principal of the five vocal soloists to
appear with Liberati and his band at
the Lake Harriet roof garden this
afternoon and evening and the four
weeks following.
On at least two of Adelina Patti s
farewell tours, Chevalier Guille's tenor
was heard in support of the great diva
He was here with Patti in 1886 and
again in 1892. During the summer
season of 1890 he appeared for six
weeks with the C. D. Hess Opera COM
pany in series of almost unprece-
denied successes, while he sang for one
week during the season Of 1895 with
the Javary Grand Opera company,
scoring splendid success in Rossini s
civilian Tell. -
For seven seasons NJ. Guile was the
favorite tenor in the Patti concert tours
both in this and other countries and
was as popular in Europe as in America.
For six. successive seasons he was the
leading tenor with the q. Heinrichs
Grand Opera company at the Grand
Opera house, Philadelphia, and among
the several operate roles he has Gre
ated in this country are Curriddu''

chestras or at recitals Of single in
struments, new arrangements and
music of recent composition have been
frequent. A number Of fine soloists
have been heard and completeness of
sthe harmonic effects has been feature
of the ensemble playing. The concerts
begin today at 2:3O pm. and this
evening at O'Clock. The programs are
printed elsewhere.
Sangerfest visitors from all parts Of
the northwest will probably seize the
opportunity today to visit Wonderland,
and if the weather is favorable this
should be one of the big days Of the
season. In addition to the fifty regular
amusement features the bicycle SEN
sation known as stThe Double Gap Of
Death" will be given by Castellene
and Volo. It is sensational stunt,
sure enough, being q combination Of
the two hazardous feats of looping and
leaping the gap at the same time. The
takes nice calculation for them to
avoid collision. The Nichols brothers,
comedy bicyclists, will be another free
attraction.
Monday Knabenshue, the aeronaut,
will arrive from the Winnipeg exposi-
ton with his airship, which will be
put in readiness for flights during the
week beginning with Tuesday. When
ever atmospheric conditions permit,
Knabenshue is to attempt flights. He
has written that he is ambitious to
business districts Of both Minneapolis
and St. Paul. He has accomplished
similar feats many times in the course
of the $50 flights he has made since
his appearance at the St. Louis world s
fair. ~
