Robert H. Kane, under whose direc tion the Manhattans are appearing, has announced that "Carmen," which opera is considered by critics through out the country as George Bizet's masterpiece, will be the opening at traction. Full of pretty songs, a story thiit will always linger in the minds of thpse witnessing the performance, "Carmen" has been herald far and wide as one of the most beautiful operas ever offered to lovers of good music. Miss Nella Brown, who takes the role of "Carmen," has' been proclaim ed by both the public and press as the greatest "Carmen" that has ap. peared on the American stage since the days of Mme. Calve. '.- Miss Brown Is the proud possessor of a rich contralto "voice; that gained her fame before she took up the work of the stage. There years' ago she Hv as the leading contralto soloists In one of Brooklyn's largest church choirs. and since her debut before the public has' always been a great favorite. "In "Carmen" she is supported by a cast of artists who have been se lected by Mr. Kane with great fire and thought for patrons of the thea tre.: ; Miss Madge Caldwell is appearing .is"' the prima donna: while Charles Fulton is singing tenor and Wilbur Cox, that ever funny tellow, is hand ling the comedy roles. "Mikado" will be presented on Tues day night. This opera, which is the greatest ever produced by Gilbert and Sullivan, enjoyed a long run at one of New York's leading theatres during the past summer, and this same opera with all its beautiful music, pretty scenery, gorgeous rostunies and bevy dashing chorus girls will be seen at the Academy on the night of Octo ber' 18.

That rollicking, good-natured musi cal comedy company, "The Show Girl," will be the attraction at the ''lh;- fV '' 7 " n ::. v.- I a v 1 might he. Margaret Mayo's tender little play, "Polly of ; the Circus," which conies to the Academy of Music Friday, mtulnee and night, October 21. Hermits a glimpse into the pene tralia of the circus. It is through a window, whoso panes are rose-tinted with romance, but the atmosphere of the sawdust ring and the dressing tent is so weir produced, and ; her clever coadjutor, Frederic Thompson, wizard of stage craft and effects, that the romance and the Sentiments seem real and grateful. The contrast between the life of the circus, where Polly has grown to girl hood, unspoiled in character, but totally undeveloped save In her pro fession, and the quiet, cultured life of the young minister's household serves to accentuate the effect.. The play wright, too, has known how to make use of the narrow purltanism of the villagers and tiieir bitter prejudice, the mote stubborn because of the ignor ance from which it springs, as an effective background to a story.

In the country district Its coming is eagerly looked forward to as the one crowning event of the summer, and its tented field is the mecca to which pilgrims come from near and far. And yet the Inner life or the circus Is as little known to those who bask In Its tinsel glitter and its tawdry pamp as the ancient life of the Etruscans JUST IN TIME Some Raleigh People May Wait Til It's Too Late. Don't wait until too late. Be sure to be in time. Just in time with kidney Ills Means curing the back Before backache becomes chronic; Before serious urinary troubles set in. Doan's Kidney Pills will do this. Here is Raleigh testimony to prove it:.;-' Joseph E. Pool, 316 S. Person St., Raleigh, N. C, says: "Doan's Kidney Pills proved In my case to be a most valuable remedy for kidney trouble and consequently it gives me pleasure to endorse them. A lameness in the small of my back and severe pains In my kidneys bothered nie a great deal, at times making me lay off from work. To stoop or lift, Rent sharp, twinges through my body and though I ap plied plasters to my back, I became no better. The ' kidney secretions were highly colored and contained a sediment and from these symptoms, I decided that my kidneys were out of order. Hearing ' Doan's Kidney Pills highly recommended I procured a box from the Bobbltt-Wynne Drug Company. Since using ; them every symptom of kidney trouble has been disposed of and I feel better in every way." t.V For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents.

Ringliug Brothers' World's Great est Show will exhibit, in Raleigh next Saturday, October 22. The triumphs of this circus in Madison Square Garden, New York City, have gone down in history. As purveyors of delicious and exciting entertainment the five brothers have attained the perfection of artists. There Is nothing new under the sun that is not first discovered and secur ed by them. This year they bring from Europe and the Far Eastern countries a new budget of wonders. The ordinary circus Is content wim one' big feature. Ic is not always lucky enough to get that. The Ring lings have foreign offices in London, Liverpool, Paris , Borlin, St. Peteit burg, Vienna, Hamburg, Melbourne, Calcutta, Hong Kong and Cape Town. Their agents are constantly searching for novelties. This circus has its own jungle trappers as well.' With such facilities at its command, the man ageinent is naturally looked to for big things. Tiie public expects much from them, and the public Is never disappointed. The hiatory of the Ringlttig Broth ers roads like one of Hails Anderson's tales. Twenty-seven years ago taey began life with nothing but ambition. Today they still have the ambition, but taey also have the riciiest and largest amusement organization in the world. There arc flvo brothers In the firm. When they gave their first performance on the. public square of their home" town, tiie youngest was only sixteen years old. Their tent was home-made. The set planks were borrowed from a neigh boring lumber yard. . They had but one horse. ; They gave the perform ance .themselves. Al was an expert juggler. He tossed cannon balls, feathers and silk hats with wizard skill. Alfred led the "silver cornet band." His triple-tongue work was the talk of the town. John was. the rising young German ' comedian. Cbarlea was an aerlalist, an acrobat and a clown. Otto was the financial head.' . ; .; Their start in life was small, but It was earnest. They had the pecttl-. iar talent necessary to succcbb in tile show business. They were not afraid of hard work. Naturally they pros pered from the start, though on their first season tiiey did not wander far from homo. Their one horse was not equal to the task. In 1 S 8 4 their sea son's tour included an entire stale. In 1885 they traveMl. through three states. In 1888" they made their first appearance with a railroad show. From this on their progress reads like fiction They went where' they liked, in spite of bitter opposition on the part of older shows. Before very many seasons had gone by the sljows they once feared began to fade away at their approach. So greatly bad they gained in popu larity with the public, they had but to post their bills to get the crowds, The foundation of their successful policy is no secret. It is summed up in the one word "honest y," They advertised only what they had, a cus--torn at that time unknown to the cir cus business. Once having gained the confidence of the people. It waB an easy mnlter tor thorn to keep It. Now, when thoy come to a city the feople know t:ie best of everything will ho on aand. For more than ten yoni's they have had the largest and best circus in the world. And it is still growing. y Clip).
