Big Circus Parade is Also Planned by the Performers Here as One of the Features of Princess Charity Enter tainment.

Not alone the patrons and patron
 esses Of the big vaudeville and society circus performers at the Prin.
 cess theater next Monday night for
 the benefit of the orphanage will be
 entertained by the performers of the
 Barnum circus here who have joined
 in the charity movement. but the lit.
 tie folks at the orphanage will be en.
 tertained as well.
 Sunday when the performers were going over the situation with w. G..
 Maurice they offered some innovations
 of their own incidental to the Prin-
 cess performers itself.
 First there was one who suggested
 that all the performers don their grease paint and uniforms and make up big circus parade for noon of the day of the performers. That suges- tion was immediately the recipient unanimous endorsement These per pormers have taken on this work
 with such genuine enthusiasm tney are willing to go the whole route to assure the success of the work.
 Second came another suggestion
 The little homeless and pareltless or phans would get the dollars and cents
 benefit of this performance. but then
 kids is kids and they would miss a
 the fun Nlless some arrangements do baf i,,, 14
 was suggested that during the after noon the performers go out to the orphanage and put on a show for the benefit of the little ones Fine and dandy, and all were in accord. so Mon day afternoon the Barnum and Baily performers will make the little kids at
 the orphanage happy with their enter tainment features staged just as com plete at it is possible to do under the circumstances. The clowns will all be there made up and they will pull
 their fun stunts for the kids and every body who has been to a circus knows that in kidland the first and biggest
 and most glorious feature of every
 circus to the little one is the funny
 clown.
 So appreciative is MT Maurice Of | the enthusiasm the performers visit l ing here in the success of this charity entertainment that he decided to
 stage little stunt for the performers
 in the nature of stag at his beauti-
 ful home on Malvern road, and rr-
 day evening the performers will be entertained there
 Yesterday the tickets to the per.
 formance of Monday were put on sale by the ladies committed The boxes will be sod as a whole only, and 1t is believed they will all be taken prompt | ly. There are eight of them only. In
 the other part of the Princes theater the regular price of 10. 20 and 20
 cents obtain, and the tickets the ladies sell can be exchanged for coupon tickets when the sale is open ed announcement of which will be
 made later in the press,
 This performance is absolutely and wholly for the benefit of charity. The Princess theater is contributed, and the performers contribute their ser
 vices, and the young ladies of the first
 vaudeville part contribute their ser
 vices, and Mir Frederick Burton con,
 tributes his services, and the show
 will be worth more than double the
 price as an evening of entertainment, regardless of the fact that it is charity performance.
 The ladies who yesterday looked
 about as to the sale of the boxes had
 most remarkable success. Superin-
 tendent s. E. Dillon of the public utilities company was among the first approached. Certainly he would take
 box, but when he looked over the situation. and thought of the need Of the orphans, he thought he had better take two, and did so. Dr. and Mrs. William Parks and Mrs. C. E. Marsh took a box. T. E. Cockburn was an other patron for a box. Mrs. w. w. Waters also secured a box. Harry A.. Jones informed the ladies that he
 didn't care particularly about sitting
 in a box, but he took $5 worth Of straight tickets, or the equal in price
 of box. With this report for a first
 day. the ladies are very much encour' aged in their work.
