"The Balloon Girl"

The big bill arranged for the coming
week at the Academy includes as one of
it's features the latest novel vaudeville
sensation, known as THE Balloon Girl
which is said to have attracted more at
tention and broken more attendance rec
ords than any vaudeville attraction in
the large eastern cities during the pres
ent season.
A young woman who is said to be
talented singer makes a genuine balloon
ascension in the theater, singing the
while the balloon gides across the foot
lights and over the heads of the audience
until it reaches the highest point in the
theater, when it gracefully sails down
again almost to the level of the floor,
backward and forward, up and down.
All sorts of theories, it is said, have
been advanced as to how it is done, but
the problem seems to be yet far from
solution.
The act is expected to create consider
able interest as well as to be highly en-
PERTAINING.
