BARNUN-BAILEY CIRCUS OPENS WITH A WOOP Madison Square Garden 1s Transformed Into a Scene of Splendor. eeitiealeemneens THRILLING, DARING ACTS A Maze of Wonderful Fun and a Fund of Feats of Wonder. Elephants to ride upon, popcorn to chew upon, peanuts for the monkeys, and fun for the donkeys—hoopla! The etreug fe here. Opened on Saturday night in Madison Square Garden. Well, ft 4i4! Barnum & Bailey's the great- est, the only olrous in captivity. Three rings and two platforms. Something doing every minute, and you need two pair of opera glasses and a telescope to see everything at once. ‘Wonderful? You should wonder. Antony and Cleopatra. That's the wey ft started, Of course with Cleopatra in it, & had to be a great and gorgeous pageant. And it was, there on the ‘panks of the Nile. You couldn't see the ‘Nile, Out when you saw Cleo.’s costume, you knew the river must be close by. Readers of Roman history and students of Egyptology will remember that Cleo- patra eed a crush on Maro Antony. If there are no readers or students present, read the libretto, Well, anyhow, the queen gave the Roman general a great fete, and won him with her wiles and emiles. The fete gives Barnum & Bailey's their great opening. ‘They: put out tho lights, but don't get frightened. You can't blame the man- ‘agement, with the monopoly there ‘s on jlight and power, But they have spotlights, and oh! the beautiful pan- 6, mavine nicture—of flower jancing girls, Harlem-harem girls, ladies In waiting and ladies being waited upon, slave girls and men who would fe slaves to » peddlers, priests, fakirs and sojers and musicians, Strike up the band!

The harmony of the myriad colors was perfect, the grouping of the | Sreat array of people was like the come ing together of the broken bits of glase {in & kaleidoscope. The ballet was @ graceful, beautiful picture. And, oh! they danced the hootchy-kootehy! Naughty, naughty, Cleopat: Mighty hosts of soldi legions of legions from Roz from Hoboken, Indians, they had, andy Moors, Mhoenicians and Persians— Egyptian soldiers from Little Egypt and Assyrians from Second avenue, And the band played Egyptian music ar- ranged by Faltis Effendi, late band- master of the Khedive of Egypt.

Elephants there are that pray and play ball and horses to do turkey trots. Ladies in long skirte do fiybacks, flipflaps 4nd goldfraps. La- dies in short #kirts do the barabacke.
