Top Notch Vaudeville.
Among the amusement features
which the management of the Mid
winter has booked are two trained
animal acts. which have been booked
especially for the YOUNGSTERS. al
though to be sure any one enjoys to
see clever stunts enacted on the part
of animals of any kind.
! One of these will be Leon Morris
troupe of ponies which Is said to be
especially good. and one of the
''smartest'' acts which Is now being
| introduced in the country.
The act is filled with comedy that
keeps an audience in an uproar of
lnerriment for fifteen minutes. Two of
the ponies, "Mandison'' and Banner"
have been taught to wrestle, and the
efforts of John Hedge, their opponent,
| to throw the little animals, are ex-
cruciatingly funny. Hedge is wonder
as a comedian and the act is bound TO
| be one of the most talked of features
of the Midwinter exposition, as it has
been wherever it has appeared not
onlv in this country but abroad, the
act having an international reputation
ana having been a success in the
| high class music halls and winter cir
| cuses in Great Britain and on the con-
| tinent.
The other animal act will be that of
La Belle Helene and her Trained Grey
| hounds. These graceful animals-15 in
