HINES-KINTBALLS COMING.
For the first time the people of
Perth Amboy are to have the oppor-
tunity of seeing what real acrobats
are when the Great Adam Forepaugh
and Sells Bros Shows exhibit here
on Friday, June 10. Among other
great European performers the ia
nous Hines-Kimball troupe has been
engaged as a headline attraction
with this great circus.
The Hines-Kimballs are Germans.
This Is their first season in America.
They have performed before the Em-
peror of Germany, the King of Eng
land and Alfonzo of Spain Their
act is considered by experts the very
best Of its kind in the world. Their
work is so much different from and
so high above the oft-repeated acts
of acrobats with which Americans
are familiar, that it is like an entire
| ly new form of circus entertainment.
Their feats are vastly more difficult.
They have reached point Of skill
where their accomplishments are
truly wonderful.
+ Ada Bell Edwards, the strongest
woman in the world, is another great
actor with this show Miss Edwards
can lift 270-pound dumb-bell high
above her head with one hand. She
can set her teeth into a leather
strap, fastened to barrel of water,
and lift the whole thing solely by
the strength of her jaws and her
back She can bend silver dollars
/ with her fingers. She can take a
spike in her hand and plunge 1t
through a two-inch board.
OF equal Importance among this
class of artists is Paul Alvarez, who
can walk up and down stairs, skip
the rope and dance on his head,
without the use of his hands. His
brother is with him. This is their
first American tour. They are the
greatest head-to-head balancers and
eccentric gymnasts of Europe
Next in Importance is the famous
Karl Handley family. Like all the
other acrobats with the show they
are here for the first time. They are
the greatest hand balancers on earth
Other celebrated names on the list
Pinchelottes and the Avalon COM
pany, both names that mean much
to circus patrons In the old coun-
tries.
In all there are $50 performers
with the Forepaugh and Sells Bros.
circus. Scarcely score of them
were ever seen in this country be-
fore this season. The menagerie and
the parade are also new. There is
company of clowns to make peo-
pie laugh that is made up of the
most celebrated comedians In the
world. The performances begin
with a spectacle more elaborate than
any of the past In 1t alone 900
people and hundreds of horses, ele-
plants and camels appear.
The menagerie is quite different
thing from the common and uninter-
esting displays of yesterday. 1t
cost the management $1,000,000 to
provide 1t with a new collection of
animals. In 1t there are to be found
7S0 specimens of strange animal
life, the greater majority of which
are not to be found in any Of the
geological parks of America Every
interesting and rare phase of the
brute creation is there.
