THE WORLD CONTRIBUTES TO
THE BARNES SHOW EXHIBITS

Seekers of the unusual in sawdust
circles will find many new thrills in
the Al G. Barnes circus, coming to
Winnemucca on May 10.
Barnes circus may we'll be called
the melting pot of the animal world,
for here. as in no other show, we see
animals from every part of the globe
and of every species, doing intricate
circus feats.
Over 103 distinct featrues are pre-
sented in the two-hour program by
the 1900 wild and domestic animal
actors. A great steel-barred arena
in the center of the immense water
proof canvas. acts as a stage for the
dangerous animal acts. Here lions,
pumas. tigers. leopards and bears go
through the most daring and startling
acts, riding galloping horses, leaping
through hoops of fire. doing pictur-
esque posing, wrestling and boxing
with pretty girl adversaries.
In the sawdust ring on either side
of the arena, animals of milder habits
do their bit Monkeys, horses, llamas,
zebras. camels, elephants, hyenas, os-
triches and kangaroos, are each seen
in elaborate and masterful circus
feats.
All G. Barnes has given many years
to the careful and individual study
of every animal in his mammoth as
semblage and that same individual
training or rather schooling has been
the means of developing animals of
most untractable disposition into un-
usual entertainers. Presenting a field
of study of animals that can be had
nowhere else in the world
This is the prime reason why the
schools everywhere should take ad-
vantage of Barnes circus day and the
personally conducted trip through the
great canvas jungle for their special
benefit in the afternoon. This trip is
free to every patron of the afternoon
show and those appearing at the main
tent promptly at l pm, when the
doors open, will be given a very
thorough lecture on how and why Mr.
Barnes has achieved so much in the
mastery of the animal world The
animals are there for close inspection.
the program clearly demonstrates
what proper understanding of animal
characters and clear instruction can
do in developing the thinking facul-
ties of heretofore thought TO be in
tuitive impulses of the wild animal
world

MAUDE FULTON IN "THE BRAT
AT NIXON OPERA HOUSE MAY

The instantaneous success of THE
Hrat." which Oliver Morosco will pre-
sent at the Nixon Opera House for an
engagement of one night, next Mon
day, May 6, has brought a new author
to the native stage and given the
American public a new star. "The
Brat" has proved a double triumph
for Maude Fulton. For many years
Miss Fulton, with William Rock, held
headline position in Americas biggest
vaudeville theatres. Reaching San
Francisco one day on one of her tours
three years ago. Miss Fulton fatty re-
fused TO go farther She could gain
nothing more by appearing in vaude-
vile and decided to accomplish some
thing really worth while in her pro-
fession, therefore in dressing rooms
and Pullman cars at odd moments she
wrote a scenario of play and then
she wrote her play She sent the
anuscript to Oliver Morosco and
waited patiently for his reading of it.
Even when dire necessity threatened
to force her back to the vaudeville
stage she refused TO give up. and
finally Mr.. Morosco accepted The
Brat"
Then came the search for an act
ress for the title role. After carefully
scanning the professional horizon
Mr.. Morosco turned to Miss Fulton
and his judgment has been verified by
the tremendous personal success she
has scored in the name part, to say
nothing of the praise she has received
as to her ability as an author and
playwright Miss Fulton is the only
woman in theatrical history to write
a success, without the cooperation of
some experienced playwright or dra-
matist, and then play the leading role
in it.
This company. after leaving this
city, will go to Reno to show at the
Rialto Theatre and then will go to
the Cort Theatre, San Francisco, for
an indefinite engagement. Fresh from
the Morosco Theatre New York. this
play promises a treat for Winnie
muccans.

THOSE DANGER SIGNS.

We were nearing Alton and final
ly reached that famous resort. From
this point. we could get hazy view
OF the beautiful Piedmont Valley
stretched out before us like a color
cd map. Below were the clouds, for
we were above them Instinctively
we viewed the grandeur of nature
with mingled awe and admiration.
Then on to Greenwood where from
the top OF the mountain. a similar
view was presented. The steamer
would go around narrow curves stcadi
ly bending upwards, while the road bed
was simply magnificent. Signs Of
Danger" Extreme Danger" every
where confronted us. One blundcr at
the throttle, one failure of the brakes
to work md tragedy would have
been recorded in those mountains
