16 VARIETY i CIRCUS NEWS SHOWS NEXT WEEK. ■Wfbci'o MINGLING SHOW IN JKRSEY CITY After the Barnum-Balley circus leaves tlie Madison Square Garden the nearest to the metropolis another Mingling show will land will be May 17, when the Rlngling Bros' Circus reaches far enough east to make Jer- sey City. May 27 that circus will be at Boston (for the week), and the same week the Barnum-Balley bunch will stop at St. Louis. May 1 the B.-B. starts across Pennsylvania on the way west. The Sells-Floto circus, the third of the Rlngling shows, will likely sur- prise "opposition" camps by its move- ments this summer. A few weeks al- ready have been laid out fof it in the east. It is possible that the Sells-Floto end of the trio may hit Plalnfleld, N. J., about June 15, for the nearest chance the New Yorkers will have of viewing it. "The Double Loop-the-Loop" will be the big feature with Sells-Floto this year. Last week the Ringlings settled the damage action caused during the lamented stay of the Sells-Floto circus at Manhattan Field (New York) last summer. The Ringlings thought the Sells-Floto show couldn't lose money on any stand, until the outfit struck that water-sogged lot. In consequence, there will be no Rlngling show experi- ment under canvas in New York this season. "The Big Show" at the Garden did not open very strongly. For the first might (March 23) no "paper" was given out, excepting press seats. The second night's attendance was some- what under the opening crowd, due, perhaps, to the scanty favorable com- ment the circus received in the criti- cisms of the dailies. Last Friday Herbert (the Frogman) took a bad fall off his pedestal while contortionlng, and was obliged to keep out of the show. The opening night the Gerry Society agents looked the entire list of performers over, issuing summonses for all acts which seemed to have a child under sixteen working in it. "101" IN NEW ARENA. Boston, March 29. "101 Ranch," Wild West, will be the opening attraction at the new Bos- ton Arena which throws its doors open for the first time April 8. The Wild West show will remain at the large pavilion, which seats 8,000, for eight days. A novelty horse show will follow the Ranch outfit into the enclosure. Creatore and Band will be at the Arena for the Summer. ALL NEW CANVAS. The Cole and Rice R. R. Shows will open April 22. The opening stand has not been decided upon as yet, but will be in the vicinity of Geneva, N. Y., the Winter quarters. J. I). Harrison will be in charge of the side show and concert; Bert Rick- man heads the commissary depart- ment. and the band will be under tin* direction of R. (]. Grady. The show- will be supplied with entirely new- cam ;i.< throughout COL. CODY 1\ TOWN. Rehearsals for the Two Bills roa I season will be held at Trenton April 10. Everybody has responded to the call, including Col. \Y. F. Cody (Buf- falo Bill), who has come from his mines in Arizona to resume his fare- well tour. He will stop at the Hoff- man House. New York, until the show opens, April 17, at Washington. George Connors departed this week lor the Pine Ridge Agency to take charge of Chief Iron Tail and 100 Ogalalla Sioux Indians, who will be carried with the Two Bills show this season. They will be brought east at once. The report that Harry L. Clarence, with the Bills last year, would again be official announcer is Incor- rect. Capt. P. J. Visser will act in that capacity this year. USING LITTLE PAPER. Chicago, March 29. The billing for the Rlngling Show, opening at the Coliseum on Saturday, has been confined mostly to banner and stretcher work within the confines of the city. The circus people have used no stands or locations in the con- gested parts of the town, and in the outlying sections they have had their own billers at work on the dead walls and a few independent stands. Guy Steeley and Harry Lindley are working up the interest through the newspapers and got a corking showing during the past week. The Sunday papers fell particularly hard for their "dope."
