Thrilling Acts Skiiifuiiy Executed.

The Indoor Circus given by the

lins) at the Grand Theatre Thursday
and Friday nights, was up to expec-
tation of these skillful and accom-
plished artists And when that is said
higher praise could not be bestowed
for Henderson people know the
Loughlins and a performance that
was topnotcher of its kind, as good
as could be produced by any people
in the business or a little better, was
anticipated. Nor was realization
short OF anticipation. Each number
was a feature act, all well done. The
riding of Mrs. Loughlin, Miss Edith
and Mrs. Fred Loughlin, and Fred
and Dave Loughlin, Jr., was superb,
and the acts of Charlie Loughlin
stamp him daring and skilled per-
former in his line. The riding of Mrs.
Fred Loughlin, doing a bounding
Jockey act with her husband, was very
good and showed her to be as apt
and accomplished rider as she is a
trapeze performer.
Friday night the double carrying
act on three horses, David Loughlin,
Jr., and Mrs. David Loughlin, Sr.,
Charlie Loughlin and Miss Edith
Loughlin, and the horizontal bar act
on horseback David, Charlie and
Mrs. Loughlin) was put on and the
audience went wild with enthusiasm
and admiration. tits a great act and

ness of the stage it was carried out
without a hitch.

ated no end of fun and laughter for
grownups as we'll as the little folks.
