DDS Of presentation, initiating as
closely as possible the intimate
type of indoor revue so popular
just now in sound pictures of
music, song and dance.
LOTS OF GIRLS
Two stages are used, lighting ef-
fects are supplied by the company's
own complete equipment which
floods the stage with blaze of light
and accomplishes bewildering effects
of varying colors. Dance ensembles
and vocal numbers are character
lied by a snappy professionalism
which leaves nothing to be desired.
Costumes and scenic settings repre-
sent an investment of thousands of
dollars.
In showing his approval of the
performance while the Follies was
playing the famous Canadian show
at Ottawa the governor general
voiced his enthusiasm over the
radio, recommending it as a beauti-
full type of entertainment that none
having the opportunity should miss.
Other high tribute came from the
governor of New York when the
show played the state fair at SYRIA
cuse.
BEST oBTAINABLE
Color, fuidity, faultless rhythm, a
constantly changing picture
square foot of the big stage is util-
! lied. And every picture is Visible
and effective from any corner of the
grandstand-a dazzling, fulsome
moneys worth!
In securing this elaborate treat
for 1880 Fair patrons, Secretary A.
E. Lawson is not guessing at the
public taste. Two years ago, a mod
est night show set the crowd a-nib-
bling with marked appetite. Last
year, the public tongue was out to
receive without stint the juicy feast
of entertainment which nightly
tripped its radiant cleverness oppo-
! site the grandstand. Catering still
more fully to the evidently apprecia-
! tive attitude of the Fair visitors, Sec
rotary Lawson has this year set a
banquet supreme.
But don't imagine that pretty
/ chorus girls are ALL the evenings
entertainment. Not by two or three
funny hears and a bunch Of stunt
lists that will make your hair stand
up almost as high as their aerial
rigging! Same price? Yes, sir. and
,na'am, The night show piles up
clever acts to dizzy heights of COM
sdy and skill. High wires, tight and
slack and various, are to be looped
hither and yop. Tall waggly poles
With NO spines at all, wave under
The apparently suicidal gyrations of
Hths men and women, who have
successfully snatched and restored
the breath of folks '1n many Ian
E1sses."

A ;ot could be said about the
bears. IN passing. But nobody would

ever pass those bears if he had half
a chance to stop and watch them.
Maybe you have seen trick bears
some time. But you only THINK
you have. Wait'll you see the little
bruin walking on stills, while his
brother rides a bicycle alongside,
and his sister-or his niece-bowls
coquettishly by on a kiddie car!
Prince Nelson is little chap but
he wears SO medals. You will want
to give him two more when you see
him stand on his head, and turn a
back somersault high up on wire.
He did it one time over Niagara
Falls. 1t took Is minutes. But at
the State fair night show he'll do
that and 16 other stunts in less time
than that.

to catch you when you loosen the

amazing act. Fast slapstick work
rounds out the Vesses' feats.

is something TO be claimed with
hesitancy. But one Of the three

Singing their way across the coun-

Singers of the Piney Woods school
in Mississippi, have recently arrived
in the valley and are available for
club, lodge, and church programs,
having a splendid repertoire of spir-
ituals, folk and humorous songs and
dialect readings.
No charge is made for their serv-
ices since the purpose of their trip
is to create good will for their race
and for the Piney Woods school,
which was organized 90 years ago
in the town of that name by Laur-
enee Jones, first colored graduate
of the State University of Iowa,
who today is principal of the school.
The purpose of the school is the
training of colored young men and
women in Christianity, character
and service and is largely support
ed by gifts from white friends.
Growing from school with a few
students and only one teacher to an
institution of $40 pupils and 80
teachers, the influence of Piney
Woods has been greatly extended.
Yesterday the Cotton Blossom
singers were heard over Radio KXO

LADY LUCK ON
DUTY WHEN CAR
GOES TO PIECES


A careful examination OF the au-
tomobile which "blew up" yester.
day afternoon while parked in front
of the Burr Motor company's office
en- state street near Sixth, was made
by mechanics of the Imperial Mot.
ors company, to whom the ear be.
longed, late yesterday to determine
il possible the cause of the accident.
The net result of this examination
is the statement that it was not an
explosion in the generally accepted
sense of the word, as it would be
practically impossible for explosive
materials to gather in the parts
which broke in quantities sufficient
TO cause them to burst.
What probably happened is this,
the company states: the bell hous-
ing fell and took the throttle with
il so that the latter could not be cut
down when the engine began to race.
1t was very extraordinary acci.
dent and one which is of very rare
occurrence. Due to the severe strain
put upon the housing and fly wheel
they burst suddenly with a loud re.
port and pieces of the iron were
strewn about the street like shrap-
mel.
Three large pieces broke three
holes in windows of the Burr Motor
company's display room, seriously
damaging one of the new ears on
exhibition. One piece in particular
shot as from gun by the force OF
the break, hit the pavement under
the ear and started on a straight
line for the Burr window, taking 4
piece of the curbing with it in its
mad career. 1t burst through the
glass, jumped over a sedan and land
ed on the hood of new coupe in
the corner, cut neat hole in the
metal and bounded up to shatter the
windshield.
Several other pieces of metal
were found on the streets and had
pedestrians been near the ear at the
time they might have suffered ser.
ious injury.
Kenneth Strang who was in the
ear when the accident occurred cs.
capped with minor bruises to his left
leg and slight shock.
