w& THE « EVENING .« WORLD'S # HOME fhe Newest ‘Turn’ Comes Under the Head of Wariety Rather Than Waudeville—If Is on Somewhat the Same Style as the Rope Work in Buffalo Bill's Show. bui Is Along Far More Complicafed Lines After all, varlety !s a better word than vaudeville for at branen of the amusement profession now classed under the latter category. It 1s not a vaudeville, but a variety of ainments, and unless that variely extsts the perform- not voted good. ‘This demand for variety !s unceasing, and in order to supply contrast the managers have to look in strange at tmes, Some years ago there was a man by the name of Everhart who wrote the Eastern managers that he had a hoop-rolling specialty which ctassed as a novelty. In the language of the times the managers “gave him the not,” suggesting that there were plenty of children per- forming the same specialty at no charge for admission. Finally Ted Marks (he of the gaudy button-hole souquets) brought Everhart to New York. In three weeks ne was a sensation, and for the past few years he has been commanding a salary trom European managers which would pay almost the entire cost of the minstrel wroupe wita which he first perfected the specialty, while imitators in droves have loliowed where he led. ‘The specialty sounded so commonplace that {t appealed to none of the man- agers to whom it was first offered, and yet the homely hoops have made a fortune for Everhart. Harry Houdini, being something i 4 i of a locksmith, found out how to get himself put of the ordinary police handcuffs. Last month he astounded the Moscow police by escaping from a c for th arceration 0! itical prisoners of a dan- xerous sort, and now Houdin| is snowing a contract for three months Instead of one for four wee He simp! t there was a chance for a vaudeville speciatty, and he gave the managers the novelty they were looking for. Some sight years ago the spe y he then performed could be seen at Huber's for a ten-cent admission. ( A New "Specialty.

Fancy roping bears the » relation to the actual work with the lariat as fancy sword strokes to an actunl Waht. In neither instance are the fancy tricks avyaflatle for actual work, but they give the expert assurance and command over the useful work. Thamberlin has worked on the plains with the cattie outfit, and his expertness with the rope ts the n result of his experience. He was shrowd enough to take 4t to the stage, and © enough to handle it after he was able to place it With the experience he has had he has been able to handle the rope in new ways, but the work is all based upon the fancy roping of the grazing districts. His field is necessar! (i by the narrow confines of the stage, and rope whirling (or juggling, as he prefers to call it) forms the basis of his specialty Rope Must Be Kept in Moiion. lok 1s to Keep the loop i mouon whit ry nay be elther parallel to the stage or at right angles with it, In efther instance the loop retains the same diameter throughout, Watrl- ing and changing the direction of the rope is a little more difficult, and then fol- lows the same trick accomplished with the rope resting on the arm or in the hol- low of the elbow. A little harder {s increa In whirling, the simplest the ground, This motion ng the size of the loop after the revolutions have com- menced. A’fter this it 1s easy to step Inside of the loop, and to round off this trick Chamberlin starts the loop, while Mrs. Chamberlin crawls under their ciroling rope and, taking the rope from her husband, keeps up the circle while he crawis out. Another very pretty trick in the same class is that in which the rope ts whirled up or down over the performer's body, and in another the operator jumps inside of the rope as {t revolves, and with a quick jerk Itfts {t over his nead and lets It fall, still revolving, outside. ‘The second class ot rop obits plays and pern the whirling motion around the his head while on hors picturesque effect.

The diameter of the rope being one-half {nch, the noose should be about two inches in length or four inches tn circumference.

The noose should be drawn up the rope until some eight feet have passed through.

The best that can be said !s that the hitch is formed fy a circular move- ment of the-hand. The end of the hitch nearest the thrower bears against the side of the rope opposite and a forward motion made simultaneously with the circular twist sends it down to the other end of the rope. which should be fairty: taut. Practice alone will show the beginner what is needed, but with practices. patient, plodding practice—command of the rope is gained, and any boy will be. qualified to join the next circus he wants to run away with as a fancy roper. He will not be qualified as a cowboy until he {s able to rope a steer from the 4 of a haif-broken cow pony, but until the pony is acquired there is plenty of aad ax much good, healthy exercise in the ornamental fancy roping as the Cham- rlins show {t In practicing. remember that the rope must be smooth and at all times pliable, the noose must be neatly made, so that {t will slide freely upon the rope, and once it Is started it must be kept at the same even motion until more rope Is pata out.
