advertising in the Earth This is a
magazine published by the Santa Fe

a liberal amount of space if she
cares to use it. But will Mesa use it?
There has been a complaint going up
from this place every time an adver-
Using pamphlet has been gotten out
with the exception of the one pub
lished alone for Mesa-to the effect
that this town did not get a square
deal, did not get enough space. AS q
matter of fact, Mesa has been doing a
good deal of kicking on the PROPOSE
ton when she was the only individual
to blame. Mesa has not reached the
point when the business men can get
together on a proposition.
The copy for the August edition of
the Earth is to be in the hands of
the printer by May Is and the COM
mittees appointed by the chamber of
commerce are resoluting and COM
menting and cooperating, but as to
really getting together and doing bus
mess it has not been done.
This is a proposition up to Mesa

AT THE THEATERs.
Aldo, the Impersonator Entertains
and Mystifies Large Audience.

Aldo, the wonderful impersonator
and lightning change artist, more
than pleased the large audience that
witnessed his initial performance at
the Celford Theater last night. This
popular play house was unable to
accommodate the large crowd pres
ent. A great number were forced to
stand, while many more were unable
to gain admittance at all.
Aldo did not disappoint the eager
expectancy of his audience His many
wonderful transformations from one
character to another, made with al
most lightning rapidity, kept the au-
dience in a continuous state of won
derment. Aldo is a whole theatrical
troupe in one person. AS a hand
some young man singing a song, he
first appeared. At its conclusion
presto change" made him into a
charming young woman, whose stunt
was equally entertaining. Thus
throughout, the impersonator would
change SO rapidly from one character
to another, and so completely did he
look each part, as to cause many in
the audience to doubt that it was one
person playing all the parts.
His best was one act ''playlet,
in which he assumed four roles-a
bell boy, foppish young man, a fe-
rocioIs colonel and a young lady
changing from one character to the
other like lightning. In almost less
time than it takes to tell it, Aldo
would change from the ferocious
colonel in full military uniform, back
to the young fop faultlessly dressed,
then to the young lady and back
again to the colonel. In the second
performance, as juggler, Aldo ex-
posed a few of the tricks of the
trade. Next he appeared as a ballet
dancer, making two rapid changes
Marthen, the ventriloquist, who
also appeared during the second per-
Torrance, was rather tiresome, es-
pecially to those who could not un-
derstand Spanish. He devoted too
much time to conversation with his
dolls,an did not introduce enough
changes to keep his audience interest
ed. However, taken as a whole, it
was without doubt one 0f the best
performances ever given in the city
ami well worth the price of admis-
sion.
