Many Gornc To Circus 
Ringling Brothers’ circus is attract- 
ing unusual interest this season be- 
cause of its many new features and 
the new aspect given the show by the 
addition of the great spectacle, “Joan 
of Arc.” The circus will be seen in 
Salem, Tuesday, June 3 and the sur- 
rounding country will be well repre- 
sented as it always is when Ringling 
Brothers are within excursion dis- 
tance. 
There will be a new parade in the 
forenoon three miles in length. The 
menagerie is practically twice as big 
as it was last year and contains many 
specimens of strange animal life new 
to American zoos. Audiences will be 
entertained by 375 of the greatest of 
Europe’s circus artists. Chief among 
the stars who are exploiting novelties 
and sensational acts are: The Saxon 
Trio of the world’s strongest men, 
whose wonderful feats of strength 
have startled Europe. No act like 
this has ever been seen in America. 
Close upon it in importance are the 
Balkani family of sensational riders, 
the Janowsky family of novelty acro- 
bats, the three Jahns, ladder-balancing 
sensationalists, the Lorbeer troupe, 
who juggle human beings; the Portia 
quartette of woman _ contortionists, 
the Maryland family of springboard 
gymnasts, the Alpine family of wire 
NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
performers, Capt. Huling’s two 
troupe of performing’ seals and sea- 
lions, the Schuman performing horses, 
the three herds of best trained ele- 
phants on earth, Mijarez, the Mexi- 
can wizard of the high wire, the Klar- 
konian aerialists, and the fifty fun- 
niest clowns on earth. 
The great feature of the show is of 
course the newly added _ spectacle, 
“Joan of Arc,” with a trainload of 
special scenery, costumes and stage 
properties and a cast of 1,200 char- 
acters. There is also a ballet of 300 
dancing girls, a chorus of 400 voices 
and an orchestra of 100 soloists. 
A little woman, accompanied by a 
robust farmer, appeared at the rail- 
way-station at a remote country town. 
“Well you please tell me if the three- 
fifteen train has gone yet?” she ask- 
ed, in apparent concern. ‘Yes, twen- 
ty minutes ago,” he replied. “And 
when will the four-thirty be along, 
do you think?” “‘Why, not for some 
time yet, of course.” “Are there any 
expresses before then?” “Not one.” 
“Any freight-trains?” “No.” “Noth- 
ing at all?” “Nothing whatever.” 
“Are you quite sure?” “Certainly.” 
“Then,” said the timid woman, turn- 
ing to her husband, “I think we'll 
cross the tracks, William.”—Youth’s 
Companion.

Great WarTER SPECTACLE AT B. F. 
KeEItTH’s THEATRE 
“Neptune’s Garden of Living Stat- 
ues,” the beautiful mythological water 
pantomime with music which has 
created a genuine sensation all over - 
New England, will commence its 
fourth record-breaking week at B. F. 
Keith’s Theatre on Monday next. The 
startling and mystifying water illus- 
ions in “Neptune’s Garden” have be- 
come the talk of the town, and all 
roads lead to B. F. Keith’s, but so far, 
no one has been able to solve the 
mystery of the wonderful “Enchanted 
Pool,” into which the living statues 
plunge and never come up. Music, 
dancing, pantomime, singing, and 
posing are cleverly blended in this 
spectacle, there being something to 
suit every taste and not enough of 
anything to tire one. One startling 
surprise follows another, from the 
time the first statue awakens at the 
scream of Beryl and plunges into the 
enchanted pool, until the last of the 
water nymphs arises from the water 
at the command of Amphitrite. The 
climax of this feast of mystifying 
novelties and illusions is one of the 
most daring and sensational features 
ever staged anywhere. This thriller 
of thrillers. makes one fairly hold his 
breath. The surrounding vaudeville 
bill is of the real all-star variety.
