work of this clever troupe is more
than marvellous" The following is
criticism taken from one of the
eastern papers: "The Four Emil

which they have good reason to be
satisfied. Their clever and diff
cult work is greatly appreciated
by the audience, receiving round
after round of applause. They are
up-to-date in their line and GER

sensational work.

noted western character, "The
Dope Fiend," a familiar character
in the great western mining coun-
try. Laype and Benjamin, comic
acrobats and barrel jumpers. Their
work consists of ground tumbling,
barrel and table jumping. The fin
fishing trick is the most sensational
of all. One man does a backward
drop from a high pedestal to the
stage, alighting on his hands on a
table before alighting on the stage.
