 On Thursday night immediately fol- lowing the regular Sirkus program, the Harry Bernard company will be loaded into automobiles at the Empress and whisked over to the Gardens where they will put on an old time concert as an added attraction into the night s entertainment.
 This program will be rehearsed all week up to Thursday and will be the best that the talented company at the musical comedy house can devise.

 Incidental to the above will be the first appearance of Miss Marjorie Hil- derbran of the company who will fur nish the real sensation of the evening by making her initial bow as a bare back rider.
