WORKMAN SHOWS
PLEASE EVERYBODY

The Workman Shows here under
the auspices of the local Elks have
more than kept their word with re-
gard to the caliber of their attrac-
tons and there is not a soul in town
who does not concede that Mr.. Worth
am has brought the cleanest and best
line of shows to Dickinson that have
ever been here and all are ready to
give him credit for the excellent en-
tertainment that he is giving the pub
lie. +
1t has never happened before that
shows have exceeded their advance
billing, yet this is the Ease with the
Workman Shows. The Elks them
selves were surprised at the magni-
tude of the organization that they
brought here and were a~greeably
gratified with the midway and the
appearance it presented last Tuesday
evening. Since then there has not
been a single objection to any of the
shows and all are enjoying good bust
ness to the benefit of the funds of the
lodge.
Among the many features there are
several that stand out as headliners
even among their excellent surround
ings. The Society Horse show is one
of these and Miss Elsie Fay, known
to the show world as Americas repre-
sentative horsewoman is at the head
of the aggregation with her equine
paradox, ARABIA" the horse with a
human brain. This animal does
everything but talk and is the most
highly educated horse of the century.
Miss Fay has brought it's intelli-
gence to such a point of excellence
that he can do almost everything in
the way of mathematics that the aver
age school child can do, and the horse
goes to bed, says its prayers and
similar stunts at the command of it's
mistress, finally taking part in a
realistic fire scene where it saves a
woman and baby from a burning cot
tage. In addition there are the Rhoda
Royal horses, the high school horse
and the posing horse, late feature of
the Ringing Bros. shows.
The Workman Hippodrome is full of
circus and wild animal features
prominent among which are the two
dens of lions under the influence of
Mile La Rose, the Workman perform
ing elephants and the comedy circus.
A big combination show for one price
Of admission.
The Auto Stadium is filled with
thrills, and the work of Mile Marie
the intrepid auto racer who essays
the perpendicular track in a high
power machine, going at the rate of
yer seventy miles an hour is sensa-
tional in the extreme. Other riders
on motorcycles who firt with death
SPEEDY" French, and Marvellous
Ell Blanc, the champion Of Mexico.
Lovers of excitement. will have their
fill at the Auto Stadium.
Probably the most interesting show
from an artistic standpoint is the
Miracle Girl, where Miss Eta Louise
Blake presents Pharoah's Daughter
and other illusions. Her pleasing
poses and tableaux vivants are ex-
ceptionally clever and we'll worth
witnessing. The show is the acme OF
refinement and art.
The PHILIPPINE Midgets will well re.
pay a visit, and the little people, the
smallest living humans on the face Of
the earth, are among the most popu'
lar on the midway. The little man il
