AUTOS THAT WILL
PASS IN THE AIR

Contracts have been closed with
Gregg & Smith, of Grand Rapids,
Mich, for the famous act, "Autos that
pass in the air." which will give to
the Tennessee State Fair, September
1921, one of the greatest attractions
ever seen in this country. In the past
two seasons this great feature has been
the principal card at eleven State
Fairs in the North and West, and has
had three months continuous run
at the great Hippodrome Pudding in
New York City, where hundreds of
thousands of people have witnessed
the thrilling attraction. The Tennes-
see State Fair management have been
especially fortunate in booking this
attraction this year, and it will no
doubt prove one of the greatest draw
ing cards yet presented by the Fair
Association. There are number of
other high class free attractions that
are genuine sensations this year, and
the famous Reiss Carnival Shows,
which are considered the best in the
world, will all go to make up the
greatest line of amusement attractions
ever seen st State Fair in this entire
country.

THE BOY STILL ALIVE

A dispatch from Bristol in regard to
the assault upon the young man at
Saginaw, N. G., by ii. f. Perry was in

THE LITTLE GIRL
OF THE PERIOD

Little girl, what makes you look s.
small?
Don't you wear no clothes at all?
Don't you wear no shiny shirt?
Don't yon wear no petti-skirt?
Just your corset and your hose,
Are these all your underclothes?
Little girl, when on the street
You appear to be all feet,
With your skirt so very tight
You surely are an awful sight;
Nothing on to keep you warm,
Crazy just to show your form.
Little girl, you won't live long
Just because you dress all wrong.
Can't you wear more underclothes
Than your corset and your hose?
After while do believe
You will dress like Mother Eve.

"FORTY-FIVE MINUTES

1t is an interesting fact, which has
been remarked by only few of the
theatre-goers among the thousands
who have seen "Forty-five Minutes
From Broadway" which will be al
Memorial Hall, matinee and night on
Monday, September 8, in the three
successful years of its existence, that
there has been complete absence of
feshy chorus girls from the attractive
chorus which has sung the few famous
songs of the piece. They have lnvar-
iably been slender, sylph-like but well
formed creatures whose embonpoint
has been missing. This has been a
great source of interest to other man
ayers, and two theatrical men were re.
Gently discussing the phenomenon as
the girls passed on their way to the
theatre for the matinee performance.
"Why do you suppose that is?" asked
the first. "Why do all the chorus
girls in this Leigh show look so well
grooned, so well formed, yet so invar-
iably lacking in superfuous flesh?"
"I'll tell you," replied the second,
"It's because Leigh keeps them going
while they are on the stage, no lag

cause of tQis activity in dancing, ply

The Bristol Herald Courier is sadly
mistaken There is no danger of any
one going to the U. S. Senate who does
not represent the wishes of the people
of Tennessee. The trouble with that
paper is that it is speaking for minor
lily, and of course the minority cannot
elect senator.
