CATETY.

One OF the biggest acts In the bur
lesque circuit is the Golden troupe
of Russian singers and dancers. who
feature the performance of G. b. Ar
nolds Fad and Follies company. the
current attraction in the Gayety.
There are four men and four girls
IN the troupe and their savage dane
ing and harmonious singing OF the
Russian folk songs are something well
worth attention The costuming of
the company is superb. and all the
performers are of more than average
ability. They appear only in the olio.
Roger lmhof is the comedian of the
Fad and Follies company, and his
Irish characterization is a genuine bit
of fun. AS Michael Casey, who is in
itlated into the Green Sod club he
gets a lot OF droll humor out OF his
system and the audience never grows
tired Of his wit.
There are a number Of clever people
in the show. Ned Horton wears many
changes OF natty clothes and has sew
eral good songs. May Walsh is bright
and pretty and her singing seems TO
please Suzanne Corinne IS also a
favOrite. One Of the novelties OF the
olio is the singing OF a VOLTA real,
genuine Siberian wolf. He accom-
paHies John A. West when the latter
does a blackface minstrel turn.

Wheels.
The earliest mention of wheels in the
Bible is in Exodus xiv, %, when the
chariot wheels OF the Egyptians were
taken off by the Lord. But chariots
are mentioned in Genesis xii, 43. But
there were older nations than the
Egyptians. The Chaldeans used char
lots, and the Greeks-Homer's poems
date from about 900 B. Chad char
lots at the siege Of Troy, 1900 B. G.
Probably in reality the wheel is about
as early piece of machinery as any
now existing OF course 1t has been
developed, but the wheel Of today is a
lineal descendant Of the section of a
log Of wood used by the agricultural
peoples thousands Of years ago.-New
