40 Life and Lillian Gish drags out the little victim — child of the woman he loves — while every eye is riveted on this deed of daring, the invisible partition is drawn back from behind, the lions rush in, roaring and leaping about, wild at being deprived of their prey, for at that very instant, too, the cage door is slammed shut. It was truly a terrible spectacle. Women in the audience sometimes fainted. THE BIG SHOW HEK^ FITtST FALSE ^TTET A Play For All the People. First Time Here. 50 People in the Ca.st 30. New Songs.

A A J* J Small "dodger" scattered about the towns before a performance. Once, when the safety slide had not yet beeji slipped into place, one of the lions took up a position at the wrong end of the cage, and refused to budge. The villain, with Lillian in his arms, had twice vowed he would fling her to the beasts, and was ready to vow again, when somebody behind the scenes had an inspiration. Two men from the wings rushed upon the villain, and while the fierce struggle for the child held the audience, the stage-hands persuaded the lion to be reasonable.
