Notes from Bon IIbwlettb'h Merrt Bur- I.ESQI.'Ena AND TnOCADEBO Vaiiubvili.b Co. — We closed a season of forty-flve weeks Feb. .^. The company was organized In Denver, Col., last Spring.

There were only two changes In the company all season. Of the principals, Marie Sparrow left for San Francisco, to Slay the Levy circuit; Myrtle Bartelle and 'orothy Heather left for the East, to visit friends; Fbylils Courtney to play dates on the I'aciflc coast; Minnie Adams remains In stock at the Savoy, as does James Rowe, comedian.

Fortunate Flo- ren?,, who orcsnlzed and has always been at the head and front of the famous Florens Family of acrobats, gave some interesting data of his nrofesslonnl life. He said: "Bood I shall numiier five and twenty years In this f>ro(esBlon. It has meant success for me at ast—very sweet success. But when I re- member the work and the weariness and the hunger of those early days, I think that I have earned my good name. I was quite a little boy when I began to dream of this life. My father was dead. My mother bad no thought of the career of an acrobat But for me tue fascination of the circus was growing, growing always. Then, the circus was a great thing for Italy. It was the great establish- ment of Plcrantonl. I bad a hard life—1 fpractised, practised always; getting very ittle money. Pierre Aatonl said ho would make a manager of mo. If I would still prac- tise. Ills nelce became my wife, and one day we ran away, and engaged with the circus of M. Stcckel, who wah the greatest trapeze performer of bis day. For somo years we were with Stcckel. Then we went to Flor- ence, and I met an old friend of my gym- nasium days. We became partners, and made up a small troupe. When I came to London no one knew Florcnz. The doors of the big agents were closed to me. 1 went to this manncer and to that manager. But since then I have played fliere again and again. I have traveled many thousand miles since. In Australia, Harry ttlckards engogcd us. He never saw us, but he took Paul Clnguo- valll's word. In America, Mr. Bailey said to me, 'Remember, Klorenz, you belong to Bar- num & Ualley now. All your life you come to me.' It was Richard PItrot who made America rlgbt for us, und we return there In March."
