! Mr.. Hallen, the manager of the
French Hallen and Fuller company,

of Colgate Baker, the leading western
critic:

Another great feature of the show
is Wilson. the whirling bieyclist, who

full and the audience is thrilled by the
reckless and marvellous stunts this
performer does on the wheel.
With the many other features of the
bill there is big and good show in
store.
The sale is large and full house
for the opening night is assured-after
that there is no question as to what
the business will be.
The prices remain the same during
the engagement. IS, 80 and 25 cents.
