Travel in Style on
Train.

Kings and queens of the circus
don't mind life on the road nova
days. Travelling with a giant or
ganization like Ringing Brothers
and Barnum & Bailey combined,
that boasts four long trains of extra
length steel railroad cars, is far
cry from the little wagon show that
bumped it's way over the rough
country roads quarter of CEN
fury ago.
New comforts and added conven-
fences have been introduced with
each succeeding year. The stars
of the sawdust world do not envy
the railroad president his palatial
private car.
They almost pity the average
mortal who is forced to ride in an
ordinary Pullman. AS the perform
ers spend a considerable portion
of their time on the circus trains,
these special cars are fitted up to
their individual tastes.
The stars have compartments or
suites, which include brass bed
steads and bathtubs or showers.
Behind the scenes on the circus
lot the leading performers are like
wise favored. If one is lucky enough
to be ushered behind the mysterious
red curtain, he will see almost a
dozen gayly-decorated little tents, or
tops" as the circus people call
them.
These are the private dressing
and rest rooms of the stars.
Among the most, artistic and, at
the same time comfortable of these
private tents are those occupied by
the famous Condona family, the
Wallenda troupe and the BradnaS.
The tents contain wardrobe,
trunks, a dressing table and chairs.
Dainty cretonne covering gives the
boudoir touch so dear to the femi-

Under the marques in front are
steamer chairs and hammocks,

been very much in demand for radio
broadcasting.
The Six Avalons combine sing

small town meets, by an ironic twist
in the friendship that he forms with
youngster whose knowledge Of

the kindly receivers Of many jokes,

licking comedy appearing currently
at the Apollo theater, the bride
groom stands the brunt.
This role is characterized by
Adolphe Menjou, whose comedy

anything this distinguished actor

youthful wife, who sets her aged
husband such a sizzling pace that
he is forced to take a rest cure.

Some weeks ago, I was hopeful
that indianapolis would be treated
the same as Cincinnati, o., but that
city had the right to inherit the
shows of the new society, because it
has always subscribed to the Guild
and League plays.
Under the business management
of Frederick Donaghey, the taking
of subscriptions in Chicago will start
Aug. 2.
Nelson Trowbridge, manager of
the Shubert theater in Cincinnati,
states that the subscribed season in
his theater will open Oct. 26 with
"Cynara" with Philip Merivale and
Sir Guy Standing.
Indianapolis is going to miss the
pick of the season plays if some
thing doesn't happen. What is
wrong? Why can't we get chance
to subscribe for the season?

The schedule will be arranged to give
