ANIMAL SHOW AND
CIRCUS DE LUXE
Cook g. Wilson'S Up-to-Date Exhibi
ton Next Tuesday - Inaugurated
with Spectacular Parade.

The near approach of the Cook &
Wilson show-day in Brattleboro serves
to accentuate the extraordinary char
acter OF this thoroughly up-to-date ex-
hibition. While it is fundamentally an
exposition Of remarkably trained wild
animals, every one Of which has been
captured in its native wilds. it is al.
so modern circus de luxe, and the
very diversity Of its performances APP
pcals to the lover of high-class enter
taInment.
Cool, u Wilson, it is said, have been
particularly fortunate III securing the
services of some of the most famous
and expert trainers, not only of this
country, but also of Europe In this
they have, of course, been more or less
aided by the great war, which has per
mtted several Of the great Hagenbach
and other world-famous trainers to
come to America owing to the closing
Of so many of the great European
geological exhibitions. The results are
seen III the distinctivelv novel offer
ings of the Cook q Wilson trained an
imal circus. The lion groups, tle
trained bears, the wonderful perform
ances given by a great company of
tigers and pumas, the seal numbers
the leopard act, the school of eIe-
plants. and the ''bits' in which more
familiar animals like monkeys, dogs
horses, donkeys and ponies appear, are
all such as to stamp the show as novel
unique and unusual.
The excellence of the performances
according to preliminary reports does not
stop with the wild animal display. The
oIympian sports and the exhibitions of
daring clevcrness in the arena engage
the services of what are credited with
being the most expert acrobats, aeri
alists, riders and other circus per
formers in the United States. And
by way of merry diversity, there is
Il small army Of clowns who contribute
their share toward giving the show
snap and ''go.'
Cook y Wilson day in Brattleboro
next Tuesday, will be inaugurated
with Il spectacular free street parade
which will leave the exhibition grounds
at 1890 and traverse the principal
downtown streets.

NORWICH MERCHANTS WILL
 REBATE TEACHERS FARES
Many Will Undoubtedly Take Advan-
 tage of Cooperative Plan.

Today hundreds of Eastern Conpec- ticut school teachers will be in this city to attend the State teachers con- vention. While the teachers who at tend will do so from a desire to i'm prove themselves in their chosen pro- fession, yet many of them will take advantage of the occasion to do their fall shopping. Fortunately for the visiting teachers the time is most op- perfume for shopping as 60 Norwich merchants, including the most enter prising business concerns in the city, are. cooperating in plan designed to emphasize the trading advantages of Norwich.
 To demonstrate their ability to serve the merchandise of the people in this section of the state and as an induce ment to trade here during Merchants week, these 60 mercantile esta blish- ments are offering to rebate fares of all out-of-town patrons in a co-opera- tive plan. This opportunity is open to ali visitors and undoubtedly many of the school teachers who attend the convention will be quick to see the ad- vantages to be derived by trading with the Norwich dealers who are Tn the Merchants week plan, and thereby be afforded an opportunity to have their fare from their home town to Norwich and return, reboted.

Keith Vaudeville and Triangle Pic
 lures.

The Garden of Love, an Oriental Idy1 in two scenes, with Walter Shannon and Marie Annis in the leading parts, proved the big attraction on the Keith vaudeville programme at the Davis theatre on Thursday the opening day of the last half of the week. The stage settings were exquisite and the vocal numbers excellent. Capacity houses showered well deserved ap- plause on those in the production.
 Susan Tompkins, soloist with Sousa's band for several season brought down the house with her violin offerings, and she was forced to respond to in sistent encores. Lester and Mowrie, a clever and eccentric comedy duo, have third place on the bill. Theirs is a singing, talking and comedy offering of merit.
 The Social Secretary was the name of the five reel Triangle feature, with pretty Norma Ta1mage in the leading role and The ScoundrePs Toll was the name of the usual two reel Keyston comedy film.
