A ride on the Arlberg railway in
Switzerland and the Tyrol, forms the
most picturesque railroad picture ever
exhibited. To ride from Langen to
Bruden is, literally, to ride from mid
summer into midwinter. The picture
was photographed from the front of
locomotive on the Austrian State rail-
way by courtesy of the Austrian min
lister who granted special facilities for
the purpose.
With the same big company of clev-
er scolored performers who entertain
ed New York audiences on the New
York Theater Roof Garden for three
months, the Dandy Dixie Minstrels
headed by the famous Cotton Pickers
band, will be seen at the Grand at
and evening. Nothing quite like it in
minstrelsy has ever been attempted
by a colored aggregation before. The
Cotton Pickers' band is a specially or
ganized coterie of solo musicians who
either on parade, in concert before
the performances or on the stage have
won the proud distinction of being
the only colored band to have played
in New York for three consecutive
months.
"The Cow Puncher," written in Hal
Reds inirnitable style, affords all the
