Venus on Wheels

The silk of the costume is a very fine grade, and drawn taut over the rider’s pretty form, there is a pink background for the black colour of the suit. Venus is a very comely person, a good bicycle rider, and the owner of some “finger”. There is a boy assistant. The suit is cut low at the that.

The Masked Marvel

Sparring Exhibition. The Masked Marvel aspired to the heavyweight championship of the world, according to the announcer in the act at the American this week. Three short rounds are performed. Some shadow boxing precedes the bout. In build he seems rather slight for a heavyweight, is above the average height,stands up well, but doesn’t look to have a return punch for one of Jack Johnson’s screaming wallops.

Danses Classique Russe

Ballet performance. The duet dancing by Galemberti and MOlasso was inspired, no doubt, by the Pavlowa-Mordkin. A trio of girls have a number by themselves, and the Barabon Troupe of five people are sent forward as the real Russian portion of the turn. The company is 25 strong, with 16 girls. The act ran about thirty-five minutes the first matinee. It can become a thirty-minute ballet or a twenty-minute act.
