FLYING ACROBATS
 GREAT AT KEENEY'S

Not in many weeks has there been any more deafening applause than that which followed the act of the Damascus troupe of flying acrobats at Keeney's theater last evening. There are eight in the troupe, their cos- tunes are of gay appearance and their work is wonderful. The senior member supports the remaining seven, five on his shoulders and two suspended from his arms. He does this too, without any apparent effort. It is in the finale however. that the troupe gets its name of flying acro- bats. They do everything in their line with lightning-like rapidity and display remarkable skill
 The musical act of the Levy family is very artistically given. The family consists of the father, who plays the cornet; the mother, who plays the piano and sings, and the daughter. who plays the violin. There is an- other little girl but she is too young tc begin a stage career, but there is no doubt but that in due time she will be seen behind the footlights for the family has become noted for its thea trical work. Each is a talented musi- elan and plays with that rare skill so peculiar to the tTalneu aTtlSt.
 Ernest Carr and company pre- sent the little sketch entitled "The Grafter," in which MT. Carr hands out a lot of those queer but humorou sayings which are to be found upon the lips of the city man who has seen the big men and who knows the little ones and their mannerisms.
 White and White do some very clever dancing and Claude Austin does some fancy juggling. The pictures were of the best as always and this evening the new Hearst-Selig films, embracing worldwide events will be shown. Pathe's weekly will be shown on Thursday evening this week, when ''The Perils of Pauline" will also be seen and will be continued on Friday evening.

BETRAYED BY CHEWING GUM
This Might Be the Title OF Business
Comedy Enacted In City
Of Chicago.

Chicago.-Wad Of chewing gum
worth anything on earth?
In one instance at least 1t let a
Chicago business man out Of bad
deal in which S25 was involved.
This man bought q desk which was
represented to him as being brand
new. II was cartsd to his place of
business and up three nights Of stairs
in an elevatorless building.
The buyer at once pushed the desk
to its place in the once and began ar
ranging his stationery, books and
other traps in the different drawers.
While thus engaged he had occa-
sion to turn a drawer upside down,
and in a corner he discovered good
sized wad of gum.
This made the man suspicious; he
looked for other indications and he
soon had the evidence that the desk
was a secondhand piece Of furniture,
He took the wad Of gum back to the
dealer and Cancelled the deal. The
seller practically admitted the charge;
he was obliged to send a wagon and
two men to take the desk downstairs
and>haul It back to his salesroom.
The buyer went to another dealer
and bought another desk.
