tIRCUS. R.EHSES Indoor Circus at Rylander Real Novelty With Many Amuse * ment Features of Ring Last night at the Rylander a good crowd considering weather conditions when the curtains rose on Dutton’s Society Circus. In fact, it is believed that many of the specta tors were highly surprised at the performance, as every act was high class and a feature in itself, with plenty of speed and action and fun. The show went big, if volume ot applause means anything. Fifteen complete circus acts, with 35 professional performers direct ed by James Dutton, of circus fame, made up the bill of amuse ment. The Circus will be repeated at a matinee this afternoon and again tonight at 8:15. By using the imagination in a very slight degree the audience last night could well picture itself under the "big top” on the show e ainds. But the roof of the Rylander is a fine substitute for canvas, especial ly last night. The spot light played on star per formers, the ring master carcked his whip and a regular circus band played all the while as the usual circu.y acts, clowns, acrobats, horse back /riders, forming the action and paggantry one always sees under thy canvas came and went. /it was a typical circus crowd, , minus what a high-brow might call . the “rougher element”.

I the funny clowns, roared at the antics of the downs, tried to flirt with the pretty girl performers and cheered with a will. But everything was done with decorum. Os course, the “Peerless Duttons” —six expert riders, three snow white horses and gorgeous costumes —was th.e feature act, but many creditable acts came before the»Dut tons caught the glint of the spot light. i There was Miss Laßose to dazzle the audience with her beautiful aerial butterfly conception. The audience roared its approval when Barney Google and “Spark Plug” (introducing the smallest mule in the j world made their appearance, while I the act followed, Miss Nellie Jordan in dancing and wire artistry with “Clown” Frederick, drew vigorous applause. The old fashioned quad rille with grotesque figures deserves mention, as it appealed to young and old alike. The aerial Clarks in a double trapeze number proved good entertainment. Nelson and Nelson, high stilt comedy act was one of the most pleasing acts is has ever been] the writers privilege to witness. This brother team perform almost unbe lieveable acrobatic feats while on high stilts. With his “Singing Dog” and Butterfly, Fred Sterling, billed as dean of pantomimic clowns, scored heavily. Sterling is a veteran of the saw dust ring, having played for many years with some of the biggest shows in the country. Jene DuKoe, America's most noted .cloivn assisted by a corps of other funny fellows kept things in an uproar. Gene and Rittley set the audience agog with amazement with their toppling table act, which was a good one. A discordant clown band, played the usual selection “How Dry I am” and they got the usual laugh. The Circus is not without the usual side show attractions. In a booth in the lobby we find a mon strous Boa Constrictor, “Queenie” by name and her family of 44 babies and they are all alive!

BELL SEE OUR WINDOW DISPLAY THE AMERICUS TIMES-RECORDEF “GOOD MORNING, 1 DEARIE,” FEB. 1. ! There is good news for Americus I theatergoers in the announcement, that “Good Morning, Dearie” is the attraction for one night, Friday, February 1. Americus is very for tunate in receiving this attraction, one of the best on tour this season, this being the only small town in Georgia that it is playing. There was a conflict in dates in Colum bus w'hich caused “Good Morning, Dearie” playing l Americus instead. “Good Morning, Dearie’’; is a surprise show from first to last. It is in fact quick and lively, prettily tuned, nicely danced, sung well and altogether what the boys call a ‘ knockout.” There is considerable of a story including a rough house fight be tween the wealthy young man who gets th e girl and the Bowery tough who doesn’t. There is also an at tempt to steal the jewels, interrupt ed by the timely arrival of Rose, Marie, the little dressmaker’s help er. The company that will appeal here is the one and only company playing this world-famous musical comedy, and is one of the biggest aggregations ever seen outside of New York, so that theater-goers of this city and the surrounding towns are to be congratulated for a rare musical treat that awaits them with the arrival of “Qood Morning. Dearie.” THE CIRCUS IS IN TOWN! Bet is brings back recollection, of your boyhood when you arose early and sneaked down to Smith’s pasture in the dim light of a sum mer morning to stare with popping eyes at the wonders of the “Masto donic Leviathan of All Tented Amusements.” There will be a parade today and tomorrow in which all of the Cir cus folks will participate, with its half hundred performers, its horses, mules and dogs and its strange peo ple from far lands, and Mr. Dutton will quickly transform the stage of the Rylander theatre into a replica of a circus tent interior. Jim Dutton, who owns the Circus was visiting in South America last summer and bought “Queenie” and her family of 44 babies. Queenie is a giant South Aniexica Boa Con strictor, and will be on exhibition in the lobby of the Rylander today and tomorrow. This exhibit is the only one of ifs kind in the United States and has the endorsement of the schools in every city they have visited. IN addition to the feature art, The Peerless Duttons, the world’s most beautiful equeßtriene act, the program also contains‘the names of many other circus celebrities, among them Miss Jordan, whose work .on the tight wire has earned her an enviable reputation, the sen sational Clarks, who offer a thrill- i USE SULPHUR TO [ HEAL YOUR SKIN i Broken Out Skin and Itching ?

And when this new love of yours burns itself out—you never had the reputation ot being very constant, dear Marie —you will have an alien young man on your hands, while that remarkable brain of yours will be demanding Its field of action. You are European, not American —why, even your accent is stronger than mine! That may be due to an uncommonly suscepti ble ear, but as a matter of fact your mind has a stronger accent still. You became thoroughly Eu ropeanized, one of us, and —I say this quite impartially—the most statesmanlike woman in Europe. Your mind was still plastic when you came to us—and your plastic years are long over, ma chere. If your mind had become as young as your body, you would have bitterly re-ented it. You were always very proud of that intellect of yours— and with the best of reasons.” Mary was staring out of the win dow. She recalled that she had faced the fact of the old mind in the young brain when she first dis covered that she loved Clavering. How could she have forgotten . . . for a few short weeks —and up there? . . . She raised her eyes ■o tho mountain. From where she sat she could not see the top. It looked like an impenetrable ram part, rising to the skies. “Can you tell me with honesty and candor," he continued in those same gentle tones that had always reminded her of limpid water run ning over iron, “ —and for all your subtjely your mind is too arrogant and fcarles to be otherwise than hottest au sond —that you believe you could" remain satisfied with love alouc? For more. let us say, then a year’" She moved restlessly. "Perhaps not. But I had planned to live in Vienna. He would spend only a part of the y<ar there with me. His own interests ara here, of course, t it weald be a perfectly workable arrangement.” “Are you sure? If you are. I must conclude that in the mental confusion love so often induces, you have lost temporarily your re markable powers of clear and co herent thought. Do you not realize that you would no longer be Grafin Zattiany, you would be Mrs. Lee Clavering? Do you Imagine for a moment that you could play the great role in Austrian affairs you have set yourself, handicapped by an American name—and an Amer ican husband? Not with all your gifts, your wealth, your genius for playing on that complex instru ment called human nature. Aus tria may be a Republic of sorts, hut it is still Austria. You would be an American and an outsider — a presumptuous interloper." She stared at him aghast. “I— oh! —I had not thought of that. It seems incomprehensible—but 1 had never thought of myself as Mrs. Clavering. . I have been Grafin Zat tiany so long!” ‘And your plans were well de fined, and your ambition to play a great role on the modern European stage posssesed you utterly until you met this young man —is it not so?” “Oi.. yes, but ’’ "I understand. It must have been -.nite a marvelous experience, after those barren years, to feel your self glowing with all the vitalities of youth once more; to bring young men to your feet with a glance and to fancy yourself in love ” “Fani’v!” She interrupted him passion oly. “I am in love —and more — more than I ever was with you. Until I met him I did not even guess that I had the capacity to love again. It was the last thing I wanted. Abhorrent! But . . . but ... he has something for me that you—not even you—ever had . . . that I had given up hope of finding long before I met you. . . .” She stopped, coloring and hesi tating. She had an intense desire to make this man understand, but she shivered, as If her proud re serve were a visible garment that she had torn off and flung at his feet, leaving her naked to his Ironic gaze. He was leaning forward, regard ing her through his veiled eyes. Their light was not Ironic, but it was very penetrating. “And what is that something, Marie?" he asked softly. , “I—you know those things can not be put Into words.” “I fancy they can. It is merely one more delusion of the senses. One .of the imagination’s* most devilish tricks. I had It for you and you tor me —for a time! In the Intimacies of either a liaison or matrimony that supreme delusion is soon scattered, ma chere." "But I belief's It." She spoke obstinately, although that brawling stream seemed to take on a note j ft derijloft. 4 FRIDAY AFTERNOON. JANUARY 25, 4924 a program of 15 numbers.

Adams, chairman, and C. E. Adams ) T ( - / ot T ' i “He was leaning forward, regard ing her through his veiled eyes.” “Do you? Not In the depths of your clear brain. The mist on top is dense and hot—but, alas for those mists!" “I refuse to discuss it,” she said haughtily. “Why do you wish to tnarry me yourself?" "Because I need your partner ship as much as you need mine. Even if you returned to Austria unencumbered, yt>u could accom plish less alone than with a man of equal endowments and greater power beside you. Two strong brains and characters with similar purpose can always accomplish more together than alone. I intend to rule and to save Austria, and I need you, your help, your advice, your subtlety, your compelling fas cination, and your great person ality." “Do you Intend to make yourself king?” she asked insolently, al though his words had thrilled her. “You know that is a foolish ques tion. I do not even use my title there. But I Intend to make Vienna the capital of a great and powerful Republic, and I therefore ask you to renounce, before it is too late, this commonplace and un worthy dream of young love, and stand beside me. Youth —real youth—and the best years of maturity are the seasons for love. You and I have sterner duties. Do you suppose that I would sacri fice Austria for some brief wild hope of human happiness? And you are only two years younger than I am. Nothing can alter the march cf the years. Moreover, you owe to Austria this wonderful re juvenescence of yours. Steinach is not an American..” She stamped her foot. “You descend to quibbling.

A far more momentous thing than any mere accident of birth. You did not return to America when Zattiany died. You never even paid her a brief visit after your marriage. You would not be here now but for the im perative necessities of business. You are Austrian to your marrow.” “I had a role thrust on me and I played it. My parents came to Europe every year until they died. When Zattiany went, there were no ties to draw me back and habit is strong. But —underneath—I don’t believe that I have ever been other than Mary Ogden.” She blushed as she said it, and he looked at her keenly. •'I think I understand. He Is a very clever young man—of an out standing cleverness, I am told. Or it may be that he is merely in love, and love's delusions are in finite —for a time. I doubt if a young man with so brilliant an in tellect would, if he faced himself in honest detachment, admit that he bdlieved anything of the sort. Nor do you, my dear Marie, nor do you.” She twisted her hands together, but would not raise her eyes. He bent forward again and said harsh ly: “Marie! Glance Inward. Do you see nothing that causes you to feel ashamed and foolish? Do you —you—fail to recognize the In decency of a woman of your men- I tai age permitting herself to fancy ! that she is experiencing the au thentic passions of youth? Are you capable of creating life? Can you love with unsullied memory? Have you the ideals of youth, the plasticity, the hopes, the Illusions? Have you still even that power of desperate mental passion, so often subordinating the merely 1 physical, of the mature woman who seeks for the last time to find in love what love has not? The final delusion. No, Marie. Your revivified glands have restored to you the appearance and the strength of youth, but, although you have played with a role that appealed to your vanity, to your histrionic powers—with yourself as chief audience —your natural de sire to see if you could not be— to yourself, again—as young as you appear, you have no more il lusion in your soul than when you were a withered old woman in Vienna.” (To Be Continued) Several Kentucky coun las have women jailers.
