Salvall. the veteran side show manager, who bss been Identified for miny years wltb * number ot America's leading circus organisations. favored Iho Westorn Bureau of Tub New Xors; Ci.iitbb, in Chicago, wltb a call recently, and announced that be was going back to bis old home, the Yankee Robinson Ciena, as general dl- lector of tbe Annex for the eeaon of 1914. Salvall enjoys • personality, which has not enly endeared himself to a legion of friend* la to* tent show business, but It make* a great Inv pmalon In front of Ibe side rhow when he tell* the folks about tbe wonder* which are to be round under the canvas. There Is hardly a thing In the show business Al. hasn't done. In a pinch, I relieve, he could nut It up and take It down, load It on the train. inn! Ihst'a lb* ml tent of showmanship I bop* that Home day my friend Halvill will looaen up to the extent of telling th* readers of Till Old Rbliablb something ot hla career, which goes back almost before the day I was born, and It his not been conflned entirely to the circus and Wild West business, for he could tell something about the marvelous curative prop- erties ot certain medicines which were dispensed from a dry goods box—with a binjo for the or- cheatra. ah It Is, Al says: "I am too busy now framing np the aide show for the Yankee Robinson Circus to ileal out matter regarding my more or less variegated career." But, I'll get him some day. These fellows who hive made tbelr mark In the show business can- not always hide tbelr light under a bushel. Look out, Al, Dr. Grouch will get yon yet. Roy Gill, tbo popular tro (surer of the 101 Hunch Show sailed from New York via White Etar Line, for a Jaunt through Europe, and will be gone for a couple of months, but he will be back In America In time for the open lug ot the 101 Ranch nt Madison Square Garden.' During hla trip in Kiiropo ho will visit the llsgenheck animal preserve at Ptlllluge-i (Hamburg), Cer- mimy. In lieu of the fact that rwnor* have tieon pre- valent to tho effect that tho 101 landB Show wa* to make a Katropetn tour, this trip ot Roy GUI'* carries particular significance. I SSRBBBSBRl Mn. and Mis. H. J. Fibber, ot 8*ittle, Wsah., stopped oft In Chicago en rout* to New York, and bad dinner with Mr. and Mrs. J, 0. Matthews.

Alrrr's Pour Bra«b were featured it th* Great Northern Hippodrome recently and scored their usual deckled hit. Right fine specimens of Polar bear* render an unusually Interesting per- formaure, and the animals show the results of careful training and treatment. Albcr hai pro- duced one or two changes In his routine, which contribute* to the general value of the act. He paid Chicago a visit several months ago and wa* veil received then: the act now contains the see- saw, the bear wslts, and some more tricks wltb good comedy value In them. The Greelind slid* Is produced to good effect. Alber wrestles with one of the bears, which Is full of big laughs, and Invariably brings a round ot applause.
