For the sake of those who at home

OND
The C%larksdale Register Of Dec.
Both made the following comment on
the Clifton-K Kelley Shows which will
be in Greenwood all next week:
after a very successful week of
business, the big $4,000 merry 60
round, by the way, one of the best that
as ever been in ClarksdaIe, did a
God business. The big Colored Min
strel Shows, featuring the best colored
minstrel talent in the minstrel bust
ness, played to capacity. Geo. Green,
the Dancing Demon on Roller Skates,
assisted by twelve colored minstrel
people, entertained at every perform
ance The Tango Girls Musical Com
edy Co. played to good business, using
all the late songs and jokes, featur-
ing Bill Hyley, the Kid Comedian, in
Irish, Dutch and black face work, as
sisted by a capital company of singers
and dancers. Special scenery and
lighting effect, making the show one
of the best on the road at popular
prices.
"rhe Monkey Speedway, a "new
show" just out, is the ~cleverest show
seen here for some time. The little
monkeys driving high-power automo-
biles, are in a class by themselves.
"Mysteria is a show by itself, and
sends the public away wondering and
guessing.
"The Gold Nugget Dance Hall, is
entertaining large crowds nightly, and
a cleaner and better show is hard to
find.
"The Silodrome, where the daredevil
motor cycle riders are, is doing a land
office business at every performance,
featuring "Chick," the daredevil, on
motor cycle" on the steepest mo-
trodome ever built
"Clark's Dog and Poney Show is as
good a show as you will ever find trav-
cling with a Carnival Company, the
ponies and dogs doing everything but
talk. The other features, too numer-
ous to mention, r equally as good"
