B. F. Kerrn’s THEATRE. 
What promises to be in many re- 
spects the most pretentious bill of the 
year is announced for B. F. Keith’s 
Theatre next week. It is headed by 
Irene Franklin, who is by common 
consent the greatest character singer 
now on the stage, and her song, 
“Redhead,” will be remembered for 
all time. Miss Franklin was re- 
cently the star of Lew Fields’ “Sum- 
mer Widowers,”’ and her return to 
vaudeville will be marked by a sensa- 
tion even greater than that of pre- 
vious years, as her songs are all new 
and the types presented by her en- 
tirely different from anything she has 
done before. This bill will contain a 
number of features new to Boston. 
It will include J. C. Nugent, the west- 
ern actor, and a splendid company in 
a comedy called “The Squarer.” 
There will also be Stepp. Mehlinger 
& King, three boys from the western 
coast who have created a sensation in 
New York with their rag-time sing- 
ing, piano playing and impersona- 
tions. The week will also mark the 
first appearance in vaudeville of An- 
ton Torelli, unquestionably the great- 
est double bass player in the world, 
Who was brought to this country by 
Director Russell of the Boston Opera 
NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
43 
House and during the past season 
played with the Opera Company. 
Wortp's Greatest Suow Wit, Ex- 
HIBIT THERE ON JUNE OTH. 
Announcement is made that on 
Tuesday, June 6th, Ringling Bro- 
thers’ Worlds’ Greatest Shows will 
give two performances in Salem. As 
in past years the North Shore will 
send its percentage of the surround- 
ing country to swell the throngs. 
This is the greatest of American cir- 
cuses in every sense of the word, and 
an event not to be overlooked by the 
lovers of wholesome amusement. 
For many years the Ringling 
srothers have maintained the most 
popular as well as the best show. 
This year they are more than ever 
giving patrons their money’s worth. 
Among the many great attractions un- 
der the twelve acres of canvas are 
Prof. Emory’s troupe of trained baby 
elephants, the wonderful Schuman 
performing horses from the Circus 
Schuman, Germany; ‘Toque’ the 
dog marvel of England which does a 
somersaulting performance on_ the 
back of a swiftly running horse; the 
wonderful Alex family of French 
eerialists; the great Crocker family 
of Gypsy riders; the Deltorelli fam- 
ily of Hungarian clowns, once enter- 
tainers in the court of the Shah of 
Persia; the Bonsetti family of Ital- 
ian acrobats, the Castrillion family of 
Spanish acrobats; the Hodgini fam- 
ily of Italian equestrians, and the fif- 
ty greatest clowns on earth. 
In the menagerie is found ‘Tiny 
Tom ‘Tinker, the smallest elephant 
ever seen in America. In all there 
are forty elephants and 1,200 other 
wild beasts, comprising the rarest of 
zoological specimens. ‘The morning 
parade is the greatest street spectacle 
ever devised for circus purposes. 
There are three miles of it and every 
mile a mile of wonders. 
Ringling Brothers’ circus is twenty- 
eight years old. It began its career 
as a one-horse affair in Baraboo, 
Wis., when the now famous brothers 
were scarcely more than children. In 
the face of the bitterest opposition it 
grew into the greatest amusement in- 
stitution the world has ever known. 
Its field extends over the entire earth. 
It has offices in every capital of Eur- 
ope and Asia and foreign workshops 
near Liverpool. It employs over 
2,000 people, 1,286 of whom travel 
with the show.
