MONTE CRISTO ACT.
It Will Draw a Big Crowd to St.
Simons Next Sunday.
The sensational exhibition to be
given next Sunday at. St. Simons by
Frank Thomas, the originator and
demonstrator of the great Monte Cris
to feat, will draw a big crowd to
ttiat resort. The public will have an
opportunity of witnessing one of the
nerviest stunts on record. Mr. Thomas
takes up a collection before going into
the water, half of which goes to the
orphans of Blakely. Should he fail
to come up all of the donation goes
to the orphans.
The feat, is a sensational one. The
demonstrator is tied and put into a
barrel which is thrown overboard and
sinks immediately to the bottom of
the sound. The man frees himself
from the ropes, breaks out of t lie
barrel and swims ashore. A commit
tee from the spectators does the tying
—hence there is no chance for de
ception.
The special Sunday schedule of the
St Simons Transit Cos. is a most con
venient one. Steamers leave at 9
a. m., 10 a. m., 2.30 p. rn. and 3.30
p. m. The Monte Oristo feat takes
place immediately after the arrival
of the 3.30 o’clock boat. And oh you
kid! watch the ad on the barrel!
