ROBINSON CLOWNS.
 ARE EXPERIENCED

 Funsters

 The John Robinson management has a policy of never engaging a clown without many years of experience, as the big circus cannot take time to break :n amateurs. Whenever a recruit asks for position, he is advised to secure training with some of the smaller shows and circuses. After he has graduated into the front ranks of the testing professioin, then to return and he will be engaged.
 There are exactly fifty-one "JOeys" with the John Robinson circus, and all of them are we'll known in the clown alleys of the big tops. They are well known because they have learned to put CheIr dntlcS ana uhelr pantomlme across" under the big top. Since the days of Johnny Lowlow, Sr., the John Robinson circus has asserted its claim to the best and biggest contingent of Merry Andrews" as the clowns are termed in white top parlance, and head ing the list will be found Abe Gold stein, the Cowboy Jew, Slivers John son, Emmett Kelly, Fred DeMar, Fred Nelson, Bennie Riggs. Billy Stiles. Al Johnson, Harold Nicholson and others.

 The concert opens with all four art ists singing the "Quactette from Rig oletto" by Verdi, difficult passage, which cannot be attempted by any but singers of the highest order. De- vora Narworney follows with the Air de Madelon' (Giordano) and this French selection is followed by White hall who is to sing the Evening Star from Tannhauser.
 Allan McQuhae makes his first solo appearance with group of four songs, first Handel's "Where'er You Walk to be followed by three rollicking Irish ballads.
 As her solo selection, Miss Garrison will sing the aria from the Barber of Seville" Una Poco Fla" and this is to be followed by the duet, "La ci Darem' from Mozarts Don Giovanni by Miss Garrison and Mir. Whitehill.
 After a short intermission, Birming- ham is to be greeted by the most sump- tious stage setting over displayed in the city when the four artists will sing the garden scene in the costume.

 Mabel Garrison, soprano, and Clar- ence Whitehill, baritone, need no intro duction to Birmingham. They stand as peers to any singers on the Metro politan opera stage and the mere an- nouncement that they are to sing, should fill every seat in the vast auditor ium. Miss Garrisons voice is considered by critics in New York to be exceptional in its tonal qualities and she also has achieved a reputat tion for her dramatic best advantage in the Garden scene from Faust. to be presented in costume Friday night.
 Clarence Whitehill possesses a TO- bust baritone, powerful and of wide range, yet a voice delicate and so well trained, as to sing the tender passages of Faust with great feeling.
 The other two singers are not so we'll known to Birmingham. Miss Nadworney has become extremely pop ular as contralto in New York and she is in great demand as a guest singer with other opera companies in all parts of the country. Her work in concerts, also, has won widespread ap- proval.
