given a delightful sensation that must
be tried to know; the Merry Widow
Special, where one is taken on trip

the entire world; the Model City, an
exhibition that is without doubt the
finest thing of the kind that has ever
been seen; Beautiful Orient; the Out
law show which consists of talking
moving pictures, some very fine films
being shown; Pharaoh's Daughter,
rightly called the show beautiful;
Gypsy, the big trained elephant that
carries ten people at time on trip
