All cars stop at the big circus! | What? You didn't know there was a circus in New Haven? We'll there is! l And it's at the Bijou theatre where one | of the greatest three ring entertain ments ever presented to the people of | New Haven will hold sway this week. | ], First and foremost will come that great miniature musical comedy aggre-e gation, Frank Newman's Merry Casino killers during the week The first three. days they will present Dan Doo- ley's Double,' one of the funniest musi- cal comedies that has ever played the Elm City. It IS presented by d cast, in J cluding several of vaudev1l1e's best comediennes who are able to produce more laughter than any other aggrega- ton of artists in the business. With them are number of pretty girls who are not only optically pleasing but can sing and dance to perfection. Their many and novel costumes are described as the very last word in theatrical cos tuning.
 The part of Dan Dooley, who is bill- ed as a wonderful liar" is taken by Frank Newman, himself, and he is a fun maker without an equal in vaude- vile. Billy Lightelle, who assumes the part of Mir. Dooley's colored servant, proves a wonderful foil for Newman's artistic work, while Miss Pearl Derby as the loving wife," Tom Fant as Simon Stubs and Stanley Arnold as Dan Dooley's friend, all add to the general merriment that attends every performance of this wonderful comedy. But what will attract the eyes of the boys-young and old-is that basketfu1 of peaches, girls, girls, girls. Beautiful, shapely, vivacious, singing, dancing girlsl
 Occupying the next ring will be the opening episode of wonderful aerial picture featuring, Eddie Polo in "The Vanishing Dagger" This first episode reveals the plot and is one that should not be missed by the thousands of New Haveners who will want to follow the picture through to completion.
