SHOWS COMBINED
 IN SUPER-CIRCUS
Ringing Bros. and Barnum 6 Bailey Consolidate All Finest And Biggest Feat ureS.
TO EXHIBIT HERE IN NEAR
 FUTURE

The epoch-making amusement con-
 solidation known as the Ringing
 Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Shows
 bringing together more and better features than have ever before been presented in the history of the circus "Bigness' is the key note of the gi- gantic, new institution.
 More trains are required to trans port the great organization than have ever been used by any single amuse- ment enterprise. More and better horses are made necessary to haul it's equipment to and from the show grounds. The street parade is the longest ever exhibited in America The menagerie contains the finest an- imals of both the famous circuses and the main-tent program, presenting the cream of the arenic world, is un- equalled.
 Some idea of the size of the new in stitution may be had when it is stated that the menagerie includes no less than eight giraffes. This herd--and nothing more than a family of gir- affes has ever been carried by one cir GUS before---comprises all the giraffes In America with the exception of one or two exhibited in geological gardens. And the giraffe herd is said to serve as a criterion for the entire circus. The great number of rare and curious animal exhibits has made necessary the construction of the biggest men agerie tent ever built just as has the wide range of remarkable arenic ex- hibitions made imperative the con- struction of a main-tent of propor- tions that will astonish all who enter it. None but the most daring and ex- 11,Yc or+e 1,aa,, od fo1- O gigantic program. Among the hun dreds of performers appear such stars as May Wirth. Ernest Clark, Bird Millman, the Hannefords, Signor Ba- gonghi, the Davenports, the Bradnas, the Klarkonians. the Miranos, the Siegrists, the Meillos---au as famous in the realm of the white tops as as Caruso to the lovers of opera
 The dumb actors are legion. Picture an elephant act numbering enough of the ''big-eared giants to line the en- tire length of one side of the great track and you will have some idea of the gigantic scale upon which the famous showmen have mus tered the wealth of animal actors at their disposal Wonderful dogs--such as LoyaTs "Toque' and '-Chiquita'-- ca aptain scores of other canines. There are companies of arvelously trained bears, monkeys, donkeyS, geese, pigs, pigeons, ponies and goats. Five troupes of seals are exhibited in place of the usual three. As for clowns they appear everywhere and at all times. No such number has ever be- fore been carried at one time.
 A mammoth opening pageant of as- founding size and brilliancy, opens the main-tent program. Hundreds of and scores of beautiful horses are introduced. By it's very size and scope this magnificent pro- duction suggests the bigness of the program that follows. The Ringing Brothers and Barnum 6, Bailey Shows Combined will exhibit here Friday, June 27

SHERRY'S NEW STUDIO.

Sherry's, at Fifth Avenue and ortyFourth Street, New York, for a generation one of the most popular of Americas metropolitan restau- rants, closed its doors Monday, June End, when the effects of the entire building were sold at auction.

PLAZA.

Kitty Gordon. the brilliant dra- natic star, is presented at the Plaza theatre in her latest release, Play things of Passion" Miss Gordon is charming in the role she portrays and her gowns and jewels must have cost S250.OOO. The ball room scenes are of exceptional beauty.
 The vaudeville is headlined by Ezra Matthews and Co. in a one-act comedy Quick Sales" by Will M. Greasy.
 MT. Matthews gets much comedy out of his role. Devoy and Dayton. a man and woman in At the Sta tion," told some good crossfire tales and good dancing and singing was also done. Paula and PurceIe, two women in songs and dances, went nicely. Their songs were well pick ed and they sang them very well. Saiia Brothers in hand and hand and head to head balancing brought a big hand. Gaumont News and Topics of the Day were interesting.

WORK PROGRESSING.

Work progresses on Its Easy to Make Money by methods which show it is easier to spend it. The ex- pense to which Metro is going in producing this LyteH vehicle is caused by the transplantation of a fa- nous Chicago cafe from State street, in the Middle Western metropolis, to Hollywood, by an immense replica of a popular Long Island country club with it's dining rooms, billiard halls and veranda; and by the erection of one of the biggest court rooms the theatre has ever seen, an exact re- production of Part 5, General Ses- sions in the old Criminal Courts building, New York.

WORKINK HARD.

Director George Cox and his cameraman of the Margarita Fisher company have been burning midnight oil in an effort to obtain some novel night effects for '"The Tiger Lily in which Miss Fisher will soon be seen. One episode in the story depicts Miss Fisher as 2 little Italian "Pepita' swooning on a country road at night just as her American lover (played by Emory Johnson) happens along in his car. It is for these scenes that Cox is striving to obtain something new and unusually striking. After considerable experimenting he has gotten what he went after, and re- suits are eagerly watched for.

PUBLICITY.

The Ringing Brothers and the late P. T. Barnum have collaborated with Goldwyn in a new exploitation cam paign on Polly of the Circus which stars Mae Marsh. When the circus parade lead by the sonorous Butterfly Stellings starts it's snake dance jus. before the afternoons show in the big tent, at the tail of this parade one will find a flotilla advertisins Polly of the Circus.'' This is a unique idea and shows one of the many novel ways in which a picture may be brought before the pub lie

CINEMA BREVITIES
BY D. J. I.

May Allison has a new director Not a full-hedged director but an as- sistant who will some day bloom forth on his own.
 John J. Conley, who for some time past has been connected with the Reading Department of the Metro staff, has been promoted from the easy chair to the uneasy and busy life of assistant to Charles Swickard who is directing Miss Allison in an irresistible comedy called Almost Married"
 Miss Allison says MT. ConIey is bound to succeed as does everybody who ever works with her. In any case he has a flying start. E
 According to the old adage, man proposes and woman disposes. It is thought by many women that this custom is unfair in that oftimes the desirable man lacks the initiative to go through life sorrowing over her choices bashfulness.
 Why don't those women go in for nursing?" asks Viola Dana, since she essayed the role of the psuedo- nurse in Some Bride"
 2 What has nursing got to do with ft?" parried Maxwell Karger, Direct or-General.
 Lots" replied little Viola 'I never realized before, but a nurse has the best opportunity of all women to make her own selection. All men love the nurse and all she has to do is to stand up in her ward and look them over. pick the one she wants and show him enough attention to make him propose. Very simple. eh h?''
 '.Well,'' said MT. Karger putting on the damper, then I suppose the fellow she'd pick out would never. get well--he'd die sure.

 It is supposed to be bad luck to tired on an ant, but no matter how bad luck 1t is, its verse luck for the ant.
 If people find ants in things to eat, they genrelly throw the things away. on account of most people being too proud to eat the same things ants are eating. If all the ants suddinIy died nobody would feel very sad about it, altho they are more popular than spi- ders.
 Ants are found all over the werld, altho not the same ants.
 No matter ware you see a ant it is always bizzy going sumwares or com ing back frum some place Nobody ever sees @ ant looking tired.
 Ants genrelly like to be ware other ants are.
 Therefore you are less libel to heer sumbody say. Look at the ant, than wat you are to heer them ". Look at all the ants.
