The Academy of Music Has

'Two Musical Companies and "Polly
of the Circus" to Hold the Boards
at the Academy An Attraction
Every Night Except Saturday
'' Something of the Shows. V
(The Favorites," who are possibly
letter known to the theatre-going
ptfoltc as the Manhattan Opera Com
pany, has been engaged by the man
agement of the Academy of Music to
appear in this city the first two nights
during fair week, Monday and Tues
day, October 17 and 18.
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. ''.;." '' .
Owing to the fact that the State
Fair 'will be held in Raleigh during
the engagement of the' Manhattan
Opera Company In this city, It has i
been announced that the opera will
play at popular prices. This is being
done in order to give everv visitor to
the city an opportunity of hearing
two of the most beautiful operas that
are being sung this season.
Few cities In the south have been
afforded this rare opportunity, and In
order to assure yourself of securing
good seats -for both attractions, place
your orders early.
Remember the Manhattans have al
ways proven great favorites- in all
cities where thev have appeared, and
they will he the attraction at the
Academy of Music on Monday
Tuesday night, October 17 and 18.
and
"The Show Girl."

cal comedy company, "The Show

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.

Thursday night of next week.
"The Show Girl" will be remember
ed as a great New York success, for
it was in that city that it had such a
tremendous run playing to crowded
houses for its " entire engagement.
There are many bright musical num
bers in "The Show Girl." The music
being of that "catchy" kind that you
will hear whistled and hummed around
the streets long after the departure
of the show.
The chorus in this musical show ,ls
known to be one of the strongest en
tour. The entire chorus Is made up
of pretty girls that possess voices
well worth hearing. Not. only were
they selected for their natural beauty
and voices, but it Is said such beauty
Is enhanced by the superb setting and
In the rich and picturesque costum
ing. Neither time nor money was
spared by the management to make
this show one of the most handsome
ly staged productions on the road.
"The Show Girl" will be at the
Academy of Music for two niglvts
only. 1 .
POLLY OF THE CIRCUS
To Close the Week's Attractions.
The circus is a familiar and stand
ard institution of American life. 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 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

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
