W. Brundage Shows were inspected at De Kalb, Ill., the past week and found to be one of the finest organizations visited this year. The shows were in wonderful shape, the riding devices first class and every concession on the lot operating in accordance with the rules and regulations of the committee, The vaudeville show on the Brundage organization, which is managed by Gus Bullock, with the Bullock family, male and female, producing practically all the entertainment, is a splendid entertainment and shows what can be accomplished in this way under proper direction. I played to two packed houses the night it was inspected and the same can be said of the water show, the minstrel show and others. There was not a fault to be found with the entire organization, which is worthy of the slogan it has adopted: **‘We comply with the pure show laws.’’ Several committees were visiting, asking for dates with the Brundage org@nization, and met the writer, expressing their desire to contract the shows. First-class reports are to hand on the Nat Reiss Shows, which have been sent in by a city attorney, the Mayor of another city and the secretary of a Chamber of Commerce in a city where the shows have operated. A Chief of Police says “‘these shows are always welcome.”” Con T. Kennedy received wonderful endorsements at Muscatine, Ia., from letters received by the commissioner from oflicials and auspices alike. The shows were declared clean, reputable and thoroly entertaining. The business relations were most agreeable and the entire outfit gave satisfaction during their engagement there. The commissioner received a front -page editorial, written in The Jackson News, on the Morris & Castle Shows, playing Jackson, Mich., last week, It stated that the commissioners and the county fair management had s aked their reputation on the merits of the shows, und that the public could rely on the shows cleanliness, The commissioner has mailed notices to all members in arrears asking them for re mittances and these will be followed with a final notice, giving them three days in which to remit or be suspended. The first noticed expired on Monday of this week, and those who have taken no notice of the first will be getting the final notice thru the mails by the time this is published. Next week the list of suspensions W ill be published. TABLOIDS (Continued from page 51) ing to Manager Bernstein, of the Lyceum.
