THE OMAMA SUNDAY BEL: Mige GLADYS GORMAN EQUESTRIAN By FLOYD KING. Woman has come into her own with the circus. rules supreme under the great white canvas pavilions of the Carl Hagenbeck-Wallace circus, whose magio kingdom will establish itself this morn- ing at Twentieth and Paul streets in an- ticipation of two performances Monday. “The girllest show on earth,” someone has parapl it Where ekill, strength, ge ‘and nerve are the prime qualifications, the woman of the world of sawdust and spangles is proving' this season that her brother can learn something by watching her. In almost every varied number, below and aloft, or the Hagenbeck-Wallace program, tlhie gentle sex predominates, even In the training of wild animals. There are 40 women in all with the big show. They are of all ages and represent elghteen nationalities, Many of them are well known performers, whose names you find on the program in big black and red letters. Others you will meet in the dressing room, and many more you will not see at all, because they are the needlewomen employed in the wardrobe department. But first, last and always they are of the circus. No matter how important or insignificant & pert they play In the stupendous production, they round out their days and their nights with the circus. It is their means of livelilhood and the scene of their soclal diversions, eight months in_ the year. The circus woman is about the busiest member of her sex, but nervous prostra- | tion knows her not. Her profession keeps | her in the open and forces her to lead a regular abstemious life, Nerves and diss!- pation mean danger and death to the| people of the circus. ! The acme of feminine gymnastic skill and daring is revealed' in the midair feats of the two Sisters LaTow. The newcomers from Vienna to the of the canvas srena they torn single and double and i Its from bar to bar, puss each other in graceful flights, catch another by hands or feet, dive, leap! girls are eire In the high dome ng some and viult with ease, gface and certainty.

This resort of- fers for the hunters of pleasure an op- portunity to get near to nature and at the same time keep cool. Various forms of entertalnment have been designed to suit every one’s taste and fancy. Dan- eing in the open air pavillion is a popu- lar pastime that attracts large numbers. Excellent music by Lamp's orchestra and a large floor furnish a delightful opportunity to the many patrons to join in the fun. NAPOLEON ROUSSEAU. I N OMAHA SINCE 1887 IS DEAD Mr. Napoleon Rousseau died this morn- ing at 10 o'clock. Mr. Rousseau came to Omaha from Canada in 187 and was connected with the American Smelting and Refining company until one year ago, when he was obliged to resign on ae- count of 11l health He 18 survived by three childrem, E4- ward of Toodop, Mont.; Margaret and Minnette, The funerar will be held Mon- day morning at 19 a. m. from Bt.

She der products of patience and adroitness in training horses. Mile. Bedini risks life and limb with her tangoing horses. The smallest bit of femininity with the big circus is Miss Zelda DeKoken, aged 9 months, who was born in El Paso, Tex., last fall while the big circus was exhibjt- ing thepg. Her mother is a bareback rider of note, while her father is a funny old clown, who, too, was born under the “white topa.”” Just now it is a question as to whether Miss DeKoken is going to be a bareback rider or an aerialist. Her training will begin when ehe reaches the age of 4 years. Mre. Charley Abrams is the “mother” of the Hagenbeck-Wallace circus. She is 70 years of age and has spent half a cen- tury with circuses, thirty years of it be ing with the Wallace show. Her husband was killed in a circus catastrophe in 1905. To Mrs. Abrams is entrusted by the management the care of all women with the circus, but her official duty is ma-| ing this season on account of the large What the Theaters Offer This Week supervises their wardrobes, mends sudden breeches in tarletan and bespangled skirts and cares for her charges in case of accl- dent or sickness.

They ap- pear in six arenas in 100 feature acts. Among them is Oscar Lowande, the peer- who turns a somersault from less rider, one running horse to another; the Cot- trell-Powell troupe of society equestrians from France, the Warde troupe of ael ists in a thrillfest of nervy midair feats; Raschetts, who slides on his head down a wire from the highest arena; bats from Petrograd, of other noted circus artists and families, The performance is particuiarly interest- «JUVENTLE" MAN FOR THE LYNCH COMPANY. The production for the fourth week of the all-summer stock season at. the Brandels theater beginning tonight will be “One Day,” a dramatization of the widely discussed novel and a sequel to “Three Weeks,” by Elinor Glyn. The two principal characters in “One Day.’ are Opal the beautiful young girl of the ountryside, to be played by Miss Me- Grane, and Paul, the crown prince, with Mr. Lynch In the role, and the story con- cerns their mad infatuation and its re sults which occur aboard an American- bound liner. Throughout, there is a wave of romance, equal touches of pathos and comedy and many interesting characters. As to scenic effects, general detall and equipment, “One Day" will be one of the surprises of the season, as the carpenters and scenic artists have been working night and day on the elaborate settings. Matinees will be given as ustal Tuesday, Thursdav end Saturday. —— For today, Monday and Tuesday the Hipp theater has an attraction of unusual force in the photo-play, ‘“Wormwood,' adapted trom the famous book by Marle Corelli, which deals with the effects of absinthe.
