M By AL PIANTADOSI and JACK GLOGAU has eclipsed all previous records on this class ol song by becoming one of the biggest hits of the year. It is the icind of eor.g that can be sung by a character singer or a ballad singer, and we have a special operatic edition that makes It available for high-class singers. HERE ARE SOME OF ITS good POINTS: A great hesitation for dancing acts; a wonderful song for character acts, with a patter that Is a scream, and with the operatic finish, it is a "classic" lor that type of singer.

A special free treat has also been given by tbe fair management In securing a contract with De Lloyd Thompson, the famous aviator, for a series of flying cxhlbtkms at the Fair Grounds. Mr. Thompson successfully produced those sensational aerial stunts, causing many thousand spectators to gate In breathless wonderment. To present date the fair hat been a marked success.

The Days of '48 r ' la tbe name under wblch tney appear, and the Indoor carnival which It proved to be, Is well named. It la a reproduction of a mlnlne camp In California, with all the fea- tures of the early pioneer dsys. By means of about four hundred feet of special scenery, the building Is tranformed Into a replica or the camp the various scenes beln; falthfcllr depicted, snd the entire show Is given bv the miners themselves, ' One part of the building la transformed Into Denver Dtn'a" gambling hall.

Scenic Artist "Bill" Stnrgls Is responsible for the very elegant effect*, which are of tbe mwt realistic nature, and which have much to do with the success of the affair. Tber are all typical Western pictures of the early days, and lend an old-time atmosphere to the entire production. Messrs. Rice nnd Eels* have a number or Ms cities contracted for, and expect to book the >=smT under the best auspices until well into tbe eorolnc Sp-Tint.
