CREAM OF TALENT IN
GUS HILLS MINISTRIES

Manager Gus Hill, whose enter
prises this season will be limited to
two or three productions makes
the important announcement of the
consolidation Of the late George
Evans Honey Bow Minstrels and
his own black face organization
which has scored such a triumph
during its reign the past six years.
The result has been one aggrega-
ton surprising anything of its cali
bre or style offered to the American
public for decades. The unity Of
these two stellar burnt-cork insti-
tutions was only brought about a
short time ago The cream Of tai
ent headlining both organizations
has been mustered into one troupe,
forming a unity of forty stars who
are already making minstrel his,
tory. This Exceptional show will
be the next attraction at the Apol-
10 Theatre Friday night.

CARRIER PIGEONS AT THE FAIR
Charles E. Carriveau has at his
home on Milburn Street three carrier
pigeons \ pair of these birds are
brooding two eggs, the male taking
turns with the female. which are ex-
pected to hatch in few days. These
birds COME from st. Louis having
been given to f. W. Bucknam by the
Rexall people during convention In
that city. They are descended from
carrier pigeons used by the American
Expeditionay forces during the great
war. Mr.. Carriyeau has had four
birds. One day they all escaped from
the house. three were captured. but
the fourth failed to return. Mr.. Buck
nam has taken these birds to New
port. Madison, Lakewood and Hinck-
ley and they have returned home in
each instance. They are very interest
ing pets and the instinct which en-
ables them to find their way home
from long distances is in these birds,
as il has been in all the individuals OF
their race, a constant and inexplicable
marvel Mr.. Carriveau will release
the pigeons at 230 each afternoon of
the fair from the Judges Stand.
