the admirable manner In which he re-
mains on the Wire, even after falling
down in imitation OF the foOt-crazy
pedestrian, brings storms of applause
Tho most difficult acts done by other
wire walkers are too trivial for this
Mexican marvel to bother with. He
stands in class by himself.
Added to these two surprises are
the wonderful Schumann horses that

dangerous and thrilling double somer

mcnagerie in the world and Il street
parade longer and more elaborate
than was ever presented in the past.
Space will not admit of even the
briefest mention of the many acts that
make up this years bill. 1t is far the
best performance the kingling Broth
ers have ever had numbering in all
something like 256 different acts
There are nearly 400 performers. and
of these fully 800 are Europeans and
Asiatics, touring America for the first
time under the Ringing management
Two performances will be given here
on Saturday, August Z, and they will
be exactly in detail the same as those
given at the Madison Square Garden
in New York, where this season
opened in March. The five trains
which transport the big circus have IA
combined length of more than one
mile. There are l,2S6 people on the
payroll and G5S horses are required.
The canvas covers twelve acres of
ground.

John Drew.

Jack straw was a h1ghWaSnlan, or
something like that, and he's given his
name to a public house in Hamslead."
That is the way in which w Somer-
set Vaughan explains the name of the
character played by John Drew in the
new comedy that has made such d
hit in New York and which comes To
the Harnois theater Wednesday, July
7. In the first act Of the play Jack
Straw is a waiter at a fashionable
London hotel, but it is quite evident
that he hasn't always been Il waiter
and one of the other characters saws
he met him in the United States,
where he was an actor and had been
q sailor before the mast, a bartender
in a New York saloon ard an engine
driver on the Canadian Pacific Rail-
road. A man who is able to turn his
hand to as many varied occupations
as that ought to be an interesting
hero and so he proves as the play
develops. As n matter of fact he
turns out lo be Pommeranian prince,
the favorite grandson of the emperor.
who has become q Wanderer because
he wasn't allowed to marry Il high
kicking vaudeville actress, who later
he found had three or four husbands
already. 1t is just the kind of part
that Mr. Drew knows best how to
play. and so a treat may be expected
in his performance here.

Boston has already voted 500, 900 to
stamp out the fly pest; Now York pro-

least in the transmission of disease.

broadcast over the country.
