WINGED that they had seen the greatest
performance of its kind ever presented
in the United States"
The modern three-ring circus, with
its accompaniment of menagerie, hip
podrome and horse fair is SO distinct
lively an American institution that it's
coming is almost universally regarded
as an essential annual event Even
the small circuses attract certain
amount of attention and serve to keep
alive an interest in this perennially
popular form of entertainment Nat
urally, however, there is always an
especially pronounced desire to see
the most representative OF the big
shows, for the fact is recognized that
it requires an immense amount OF cap
ital to organize the modern arenic ex-
hibition, and that the big expensive
and up-to-date features are beyond the
reach of the smaller travelling shows.
The Barnum & Bailey management
announces that this seasons aren't"
display is not only superior to any
thing hitherto offered even by this
great show, but also that the number
of new and sensational features and
the magnitude of the exhibition are
such as To make 1t probable that the
present season will mark the absolute
limit to which circus endeavor may
reach A greater number of cars, II is
said would overtax the power OF the
railroads to handle, while the army of
employees is SO great that to exceed the
number would be to create a serious
problem almost impossible of solution.
Tho povalfy of doing away with the
parade successfully inaugurated by the
Barnum & Bailey management two
years ago is being continued this year.

Miss Desmond will be heard in new

Bessie Lacount will sing. dance and

new motion picture films. That it is
a double bill for single admission
price no one will deny. No roper
toire company has ever stayed in
Richmond as long as the Desmond and
the experiment of continuous stock has
proven highly satisfactory to the COM
pany, to the management of the house
and to the public as well. If indiea-
tions are to be relied upon the fourth

"When kniehthood Was in Flower

"When kniehthood Was in Flower"
The settings of Ernest Shipman's
great production of when Knight
hood was in Flower" which comes to
the Gennett next Saturday, are five in
number and gorgeously handsome and
appropriate, the characters strikingly
and handsomely costumed in Tudor
style, and there is much to charm the
ear and satisfy the eye about the play;
Yet, after all, Grace Merritt as Mary
Tudor" permeateS the entire substance
so completely that she becomes more
than the Hamlet of the piece; she is
the Hamlet, Ophelia, Polonious and
ghost all compressed into one central
figure: a creature of many contra
dictions, yet radiant in the grace and
power of true womanhood. this daugh-
ter of a line of kings-a woman more
profound than Rosalind. more real
than Juliet, and altogether splendid in
her possibilities. is the alpha and
omega of the play which Paul kester
has drawn with great art from the
story which Charles Major wrote one
time in Indiana. In selecting VIII
liam Clifford as Charles Brandon, the
has secured one of New
York's most successful leading men.

PLAY DEALS WITH
THE MONEY POWER
"The Lion and the Mouse"
Story of High Finance and
Corrupt Politics.
HAD A GREAT SUCCESS.
PAINTING OF THE LIFE OF THE
FABULOUSLY RICH HAS BEEN
DONE IN A MOST POWERFUL
MANNER.

1.-The Lion and the Mouse" which
will be presented by Henry B. Harris
at the Gennett Monday night, has
scored a pronounced success in all
cities in which it has been produced.
In New York alone the play is now in
it's twelfth month at the Lyceum
Theatre, it having made new record
in dramatic annals, having run
an entire summer in New
York without a break.
The author is Charles Klein, who
is also responsible for the Music Mas
ter'' and other well known successes.
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1907-04-21

In THE Lion and the Mouse" Mr.
Klein deals with one of the widely
discussed topics of the hour-the in
fluence welded in American politics
by money. The dominant parsonage in
the play is John Burket Ryder. the
acknowledged leader in the financial
world in which he is known as Ready
Money" Ryder. The coterie of money
magnates of which he is the head has
been halted in its career by an adverse
decision rendered by Judge Rossmore

istration of the office to which the

more's suspension from the bench
because of alleged fraudulent practice.
His daughter, Shirley, summoned home
from Europe, returns to find her father
dishonored, bankrupt and broken n
health. Ryder alone is in possession of
the proof of her fathers innocence and
she determines to secure it from him.
Through an ingeniously plausible
chain of circumstances she becomes a
member of the Ryder household, win
ming the affection of the family and
becoming almost invaluable as friend
and adviser to Ryder. She has con-
cealed her identity under the name of
Shirley Green. Her secret is known
only to Jefferson Ryder, the son OF the
money king. Jefferson has fallen in
love with Shirley, whom he had met
on the voyage from Europe He Is
in sympathy with her purpose, even
though its consummation means the
defeat of his father The struggle
between the lion and the mouse,
is rapidly approaching a climax when
the love story of jefferson and Shirley
suddenly becomes known to Jeffer-
sons father. which climax suddenly
assumes a vital issue in the situation
that is strikingly, but Logically dra-
matte. Mr. Klein has brought about
the happiness of Shirley's romance and
her triumph without straining a the
possibilities, but with a finely COM
mendabie logic.
