When the four Minars arrived in New York last spring from Paris, to Joln '-The Queen of the Moulin Rouge which comes to Jackson's tonight, at tempts were made to catch the two dancers in action. Most photograph CTS said if was impossible either to flashiight or snapshot the dancers, but an operator who used camera with a drop shutter, working in one- twelfth hundred of second, accom- plished the feat. Mons. Molasso eA- plained that he would make five whirls. and indicated the spot at which he would alight. The two dan- cers posed for focus and at the word "Go," Molasso, who had Mile. Minar' s right wrist in his grip, swung her in the air and in the same relative posi- zontal and at least five feet above the floor. She alighted on both feet with a back whirl which threw Molasso in the air and in the same relative posi- ton.

 Bright Eyes.''
 One of the chorus girls of the Bright Eyes, company, which plays &w1 41r~ ~Y~v-rnv rlr1d Thursday evenings, with a special matinee on Thursday, will spend the coming summer in Europe at the ex- pense of the other girls in the com pany. They have formed an organ1za- ton which they call "The Bright Eyes Club" and each member contributes to a general fund the sum of fifty cents a week. There being fifty members this means that $25, Is add ed to the fund every week and at the end of forty weeks the fund will amount to .$1,000. This fund is to be used by the girl finally selected to during the months when chorus girls are not working. The rules under which the fund is to be awarded are very strict. In the first place any girl Uho leaves the company before the close of the season forfeits all
 
 of the club. When the season closes all of those who have remained throughout the entire tour stand chances to win the trip. Then comes the hardest condition of all. The final award is to depend on the num- Der of black marks made against the girls by the stage manager. An elaborate schedule of demerits has been worked out For every fine of a dollar that has been placed against a girl ten black marks are recorded. So keen is the interest in the contest that not one fine has been assessed on any girl in the chorus since the tour opened. The sale of seats for the entire engagement is now on. As this is one of the biggest travelling organizations, and comes here direct from an unusually successful engage ment at the Boston theatre, Boston, if is sure to attract large audiences.
