DAINTY AERIALIST.
La Belle Victoria One of the Features of
the Sel!s-Floto Show.

An airy, ETHEREAL sprite is La Belle
Victoria, of the Sells-Floto Circus, which
will be here next Saturday. One writer has
described her as Cinderella on wire, y
and it is said that the combination of her
petite beauty and the unsubstantial wire
on which she performs gives that impress
sion. La Belle Victoria is q member OF the
Spanish family, Codona, which has pro-
duced many notable circus artists, and
her brother is the famous Alfredo Codona
whose triple sonersauIts In midair were
the sensation of the performances of the
big show In the Chicago Coliseum few
weeks ago.
Unlike many other wire artistes, La
Belle Victoria does not work from plat
form, but from the time she first balances
herself upon the slender thread of copper,
until the finale of her act, she poises in the
air without any other support.
The Sells-Floto Circus girls are much in
evidence in all the various ring displays.
They dominate the riding numbers, per-
form with three herds of acting elephants,
give charm to the spectacular entree, pre-
sent sensational aerial ballet, and their
grace and beautiful costuming help to
make the flying numbers notable.
