WILD ANIMALS JUMP
 THROUGH FIERY HOOPS

There have been marvels through all ages and the seven wonders of the world have been known for centuries to the entire civilized universe, but 1t has remained for the flag enbeck- Wallace shows, which exhibit here Thursday, to produce others as equally well worthy of recognition. Jungle melodies and scenes from the immense steel girt arena that would have held Pharoah spellbound, are reduced to perfect har- mony, and sets the blood of the on- locker to dancing in his veins, as they witness the disciplined submission of the fiercest and most ferocious African lions and Bengal tigers, with other wild animals, as they obey the will of man, and at a simple and quiet direc- ton perform the most marvellous feats
 Fire, the most terrifying of elements to the beast creation, Is encountered without hesitancy at simple word of command. Unleashed in the great steel ribbed arena big African lion springs like a wild cat to the back of the in trepid mount and with all the grace and dexterity of riding rivals per- forms feats that are almost incredible. Hoops of fire have no terror for him as he leaps through them with all the abandon of a finished artist Then there are fearful foes brought together in perfect amity to present in conductive harmony spectacular per1OrndHce, LII like of which the world has never seen or even thought within the range of possibility. They are the tiger and tn @ elephant, the equestrian, sensation of all time, in which beautiful and majestic royal Bengal tiger springs with elec- trio speed to the back of a monster loping elephant and rides with a con- summate grace around the iron arena, lea ping to and from distant obstacles, and presenting the most startling per formance that the eye of man ever looked upon. These are but few of the leading trained wild animals acts which also include performing polar bears. leopards and 1eopardesses, pumas, ze- brus, boar hounds, zebras and ze- brulas and a monster hybrid lion-tiger, strange beast. having the stripes of the tiger upon the lions skin. Pages might be written and then not tell in advance all of the startling novelties introduced In the Hagenbeck- Wallace shows, which are vastly superior In size to any circus now obtaining and com prise, besides the alluring trained wild beast performances, a three-ring circus now, European novelty exhibitions and Oriental expositional features, all com- bined, and making practically moving city of enchantment, with morning free street parade that for costly splendors and lavish expenditures of al most endless pageantry glories would alone impoverish a Croesus.

The Orpheum opened the week last night with five good acts. The head liner did not prove the usual standard of what the Orpheum put on the first two weeks. Charles Webber did the best work of any and really deserves to be the headliner of the bill. Webber has some real comedy about him and en- tertained his audience exceptionally well. Dayton. the man with three voices, puts on good singing act, using three dif- ferent voices. He has a high tenor, a female soprano and a bass voice that he twists about in the same song with an effect that Is artistic and funny. He is an expert yodler and ends several of his pieces with dainty slides all over the keyboard"
 Howe and Howe. burlesque and mind readers, Wells and Sells, trick house comedy and acrobats and Harris. Rob inson, and Boesch complete the bill with good acts.
