Has'at last focused his yean of ex- uerlence Into a combination of sterling worth that should soon place this aggregation In the front rank; , Always regarded as- a liberal and venture- some circus dlrcttnr. bis plana laid- for this enterprise will embrace an easy tour to {South- land, where It Is arranged to bring the show to a convenient point on the Gulf of Mexico, where a monBter steam passenger and freight vessel of 12.000 tons has- been chartered for n (wo yeaa-s' cruise, and the Itinerary will cover the entire Western Hemisphere. Tills vast undertaking Is regarded by many show- men as being the logical result of conditions In this country. New fields must be open for the big shows. The Sells tour of Aus- tralia, martv years ago, was looked upon as a most daring venture: Mr. Sells' tour, last rear, through Old Mexico, resulted In open- ing the eyes of showmen generally to the pos- Hlbllllles'of these' foreign lands Just across our border. Shows Which are compelled to Winter their enterprises each year, at the cost of the past Sumnlefs profits, havenever figured' how to overcome this seemingly un- reasonable condition of affairs. This proposi- tion Is the result of years of study, aud carc- fullv calculated: It will be the first real circus to carry the "Stars and Stripes" Into new lands that every American' at least sbould'be familiar wittf. William Sells will be toe ploueer director to take the first real American circus to Ha- vana. After a tour of the Island, il trip to Yucatan, Colon and Panama will be made, followed by an extended visit to the West Indies, Including engagements at Martinique, St. Kltts, the Bermudas, Jamaica, Haiti, Costa It leu, Bahamas, Porto Rico, opening the South Auicrican tour ut Georgetown, British Guiana, thence to Klo Janeiro, Buenos Ay res and several important places in the Interior of Argentine. After rounding Cape Horn, all the ports of Peru and Chili will be on the route: a second Panama en- gagement, Guatemala. Nlcuraugua up to the Pacific sldo to' Salinas Cruz, where the Tchuiintcpcc railroad will transport the en- tire show to Mexico City for the second Winter season, ns the first Winter will bo spent In Brazil. Competent agents and Interpreters have been secured. All the printing'will be carried on the steamship, and only duties paid ou what Is necessary for each country. A small strath press on board will print the dates and heralds and small work, as required, In all languages, as well as Issue u weekly paper of gossip of American und foreign news for I lie three hundred show people with tills or- mil/.utii'ti. A wireless telegraph system will used for laud Information, or whatever comes necessary, and this tour will be watched Willi Interest by the public. A well known magazine writer and nil expert press reporter on n big New York dolly have ap- plied for berths for the entire tour. » . » —— Florencc Nash, Whose plcltiro appears on the front page of this Issue, attracted much attention the past Mason la u local production. In each the- nlrlcul ran son there ure n few Individual suc- cesses that stuud out In the Ktroug light, and among those of the seuson Just closed uouo wax wore pronounced than that of Miss Nash, who, by the way, la Just out of her teens. She scored the comedy success of "The Boys of Company **," m the l ,,irt °' Madge Blako; the lisping Ingenue, and- was awarded thu position of honor after the star liy nil the critics. Miss Nufih, despite her youth, has hud considerable experience, hav- ing spout two seasons 'In stock coiupaulcs In Philadelphia and Baltimore, and one seusou on the road in n principal role (Setsu), In "The Darling of the Gods." Her spcclui equipments for success tire: dramatic Intelli- gence, mi attractive personality, o very keen sense of humor, wilth youth and good looks. Miss Nash will introduce her lisping girl to tbe I'oad the coming season, and will create another unique girl character. In a new play, to be presented In New York next Spring. 4»» ■ Isidore Wltiiinrk Sail* fur ISnronr.

"Mrs. Wlggs or the Cubbage Patch." has not been upprouched by any other play produced. this year In the British capital. And even to-day. after a long run there, the "standing room only" York. sign Is displayed at every performance. When a l/ondon production of "Mrs. VVlggs of the Cabbage Patch" was Hrst considered by Messrs. Llubler & Co.. It was thought that It could hardly result In success, because of Its peculiarly pronounced local character. However, "oiie touch of nature makes the whole world kin." and In the simple life there portrayed, the homely philosophy and sweet, motherly nature of Mrs. Wlggs. also the amusing Incident and tender pathos which permeates the entire play, all served to touch the English heart, Just ns It had touched the American heart, and before the end of the opening week "Mrs. Wlggs of the Cablwge Patch was an unquestioned success In Lon- don. I' i'lun our I .milieu exchanges we have failed to tlnd one adverse criticism of the play and its actors therein, but all Indorse the former favorable verdict of the American theatre- going public. «>«» < ■ Frederic II.
