Next Monday and the real fun begins. If foot ball is not doomed it is generally damned. Are you a farmer? 'Nough said, you are a millionaire. Death Valley Scott is believed to have been sent to the place of which his name indicates. Yes, holiday shoppers do lose valuables, and they find worthless Christmas gifts in lieu thereof. Basket ball, like foot ball, seems to be getting harder kicks after the season than it did during the season. If the same set of highwaymen held up the N. P. last week that held up the G. N. some weeks ago, they are dead on to their job. Ah Sou must go back to China, so says the court, which must be like gall and wormwood to Col. Buster Blethen of the Alden J. Times. High bred city girls had better begin to look to the country for husbands, if it's the man with the dough that they are hoping to capture. If the drinking of Cedar river water is responsible for Seattle's splendid conditions, then some one has given "Rainier" the wrong tip. A turn pike road from Canada to Mexico, which is being put in motion by Secretary J. B. Meikel of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce, must be music to the soul of the automobile enthusiast. Uncle Sam's latest census discloses the fact that he has more sons than daughters, which must explain why there are more hair pulilngs among the women over some worthless man than there was in ye olden days. Bellingham proposes to donate a million dollars to a railroad proposition, and half of the amount has been already raised. That's the spirit that makes Chicagos and Seattles and Bellingham is rising. --- SeATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 22, 1905 ican Gov. Bob La Follette has tendered the Wisconsin legislature his resignation, to take effect January 1st next. He lost his cunning in controlling that body and so he is to try his hand on the United States senate. Ed of the of be in eld t Unless the members of the city council get an ordinance move on them no new wards can be created in the city before 1909. That would be something of a calamity, and it is hoped that the necessary steps will be taken by the council to remedy the defect. We will have pure milk in Seattle when the dairymen cease to milk the water pump as much or more as they do their entire herd of cows, and this they are not likely to do, as it costs less to produce water than it does milk. Mayor Ballinger and City Engineer Thomson are out advocating a common user track for all railroads that desire to come into the city limits. First and last this "common user" trackage is going to solve a good many knotty problems. J. M. FRINK PRICE FIVE CENTS Edison, the wizard of electrical science, is of the opinion that "the world is on the eve of being revolutionized by new discoveries in electrical appliances. Turn it loose any old time, Tommy, as the world and his wife, as well as the children, seem to be ripe for any kind of a revolution. John Alexander Dowie has resigned his rule in Zion City and a triumvirate has been elected to carry on the business. Some people do not know when they have enough of a good thing, but Dowie does, and he goes Caribbean Sea to spend the balance of his life in ease. Both the Oklahoma and the Indian territories are loudly protesting against being merged into one as has been recommended by the Republicans in caucus. In view of the fact that both would be Democratic states the Republicans are not deeply interested in what happens to them. POLITICAL POT-PIE Though no mayoralty Moses has come forward to lead the politicians and especially the Republican ones out of the political wilderness, yet no great amount of uneasiness is being felt among them lest one does not arrive and not only arrive, but actually lead them across the Red sea safely into the land of Success as of yore. The candidacy of John F. Miller is not being taken seriously and the political workers do not think it will last to the end of the present year, to say nothing of his name going before the next Republican municipal convention. No one seems to have anything particular against Miller, only it is not believed he is a vote getter and the street corner politician is inclined to think the Republican nominee for mayor will need all of the votes he can get to win the next mayoralty contest in Seattle. It is claimed that Sam Rathbun no longer covets the nomination for mayor, as he has a bank scheme up his sleeve, which he will devote his time to after his term as city treasurer expires. * * * The Pie-maker is of the opinion that the City of Seattle would do itself proud if it would hand its Republican nomination for mayor to the Hon. J. M. Frink on a silver platter. Mr. Frink is a retired business man, who made a fortune out of the iron business and has turned the business over to his sons, thus leaving him all the time that would be needed to look after the affairs of the office. He is truly a business man and therefore would run the affairs of the city on business principles. He is a man, if elected to that or any other public position, the highest and the lowest citizen of the community could approach him and feel that he or she was but talking to another human being like himself. He would not be one of those who would go up and down the streets with his head tossed up in the air and not condescend to speak to any one except some banker or capitalist. The complaints of the poor would be as considerately heard as those of the rich, and therefore he would be the right man for the place. The Pie-maker has no idea that he will even favorably consider the suggestion of him becoming the Republican candidate for mayor, owing to the strenuous duties attached to the office, and, owing to the fact every son and sucker in the town always feel called upon, when a new man is elected mayor of Seattle, to go up and give him points as to how to run the town. So annoying has this become that good men run like scared wolves when some one mentions their names in connection with the mayorality nomination. Every one wants to see a good man nominated, but no good man who would fill the bill will think of allowing himself to be sacrificed on the mayorality altar. That J. M. Frink would make an ideal mayor every one to whom the suggestion has been made quite agrees, and if the business men want to keep their city clean as it has been for the past two years, it is up to them to prevail on him to accept the nomination, and his election is as certain as voting day comes around. THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN The candidates for councilmen are slow about announcing their candidacies, though some of them are slowly crawling out of their holes. Thus far no one has announced his intention of making a fight for the councilman-at-large, notwithstanding the fact there will be two candidates to be nominated. It, however, is the concensus of opinion that both Frank P. Mullen and H. P. Rude will be candidates to succeed themselves. Mullen will doubtless be renominated without opposition, but it begins to look as though Rude will have some trouble before he is declared one of the councilman-at-large nominees. * * * In the First ward the Republicans seem to have decided on no one as yet, and it is barely possible that Councilman Conway will be re-elected without party opposition, but there is nothing certain about a proposition like this. Republicans do not take well to endorsing Democrats or even Mugwupms, and it is hinted that Fred W. Comstock may sally into the race before a right of way is given to Conway. * * * A battle royal is promised in the Second ward over the nomination for councilman. Councilman Johnson says he is entitled to a second nomination and serves notice on his opponents that he is going to make the fight of his life to succeed himself. He, as well as many others, think he has made a good record as councilman and there is no good and sufficient reason for not being returned for at least one term more. H. L. Jaffe is also a candidate for the place, and is lining up his friends for the fight. Jaffe is a good scrapper and his opponents are aware that they will not have a cake walk when they start in to skin him. It is also reported that Homer M. Hill may get into the fight before it is settled. He has had some experience as a councilman and standing well with the powers that be in the ward he might get in as a compromise candidate and raise the very old devil with the regular candidates. * * * Hi Gill, as was reported in these columns on a previous occasion, has no opposition for the nomination to succeed himself, and THE UNION SAVINGS TRUST COMPANY OF SEATTLE IN THE UNION IS STRENGTH THERE Union Savings & Trust Co.

DECEMBER 22. 1905 if the opposition party nominates a man, and especially Rev. Mathews, there will not be a grease spot left of him when Hi gets through with him on election day. ** In the Fourth ward the Republicans many weeks ago decided whom they would nominate for mayor, and his name is Frederick Sawyer, who at present is proprietor of the Old Rainier. Whether a good or a bad man he seems to be without opposition, and the Democratic nominee is not feared, regardless of whom he may be. *** Scott Benjamin is a candidate to succeed himself in the Fifth ward, and might be said to be without opposition, though Ellis Morrison is willing if his constituents think he is the proper man, to accept the nomination if handed to him in a golden urn. "Under no circumstances will I make a scramble for the place, and will only accept it if tendered me by the delegates of the ward," Mr. Morrison was overheard to say not long since. \* \* \* In the Sixth ward Arnold Zbinden, the present councilman, will be unanimously nominated. Major Rinehart still has a longing eye on the office, but his supporters are so few he would not be able to go into the convention, fight as hard as he might, with more than three or four delegates supporting him. Zbinden has done well, and both friend and foe are willing to say, "Well done, it's all yours for two years more." * * * The Seventh ward as usual promises to be a great battle ground for the nomination of Republican councilman. T. P. Revelle is the first to announce his candidacy, and he has many warm friends who are already doing yeoman service for his success. J. C. Redward is a candidate, though he has not as yet made any public announcement of the fact. There are still others who are cherishing the hope that councilmanic lightning wil strike them. None of them, however, entertain any fears of Councilman Daulton, the Democratic candidate, being able to defeat them as he did that distinguished citizen and political diplomat, J. C. Parsons, two years ago. * * * As usual Dr. Crichton is a candidate to succeed himself, and as usual he is without opposition. Two years ago he thought he had some opposition until after the primaries, when it developed that he was sadly mistaken. In the next primaries no one will dispute his right to the nomination, and the convention will but ratify the acts of the primaries. *** In the Ninth ward W. H. Murphy will be nominated without opposition, and if the Democrats should nominate a candidate against him, such candidate would not get enough votes to know that he also ran. * * * The Tenth ward is a new proposition, and no one having the benefit of a precedent, it will be every fellow for himself and the devil THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN take the hindermost of its first ward primaries. The candidates for the council from the ward thus far are Messrs. Reynolds, Thompson and Nichols, all more or less prominent in local politics in their immediate vicinities. *** The Eleventh ward, which is like unto the Tenth, created only a few months ago. It has a number of aspirants for the Republican nomination for councilman, and among them are George W. Hill, William A. Burleigh, C. D. Hillman and F. A. Weyant. * * * It begins to look as if the Democrats, not being able to induce ex-Sheriff Edward Cudihee to accept their nomination for mayor, have decided to nominate Billy Moore, the Democrat who defeated George U. Piper for state senator. Be it remembered, however, it was not Moore's personal popularity that pulled him through on that occasion, but it was because J. D. Farrel spent some $30,000 in his vote-getting effort. Aside from a few labor followers, Moore cannot be considered popular even among Democrats. If he is nominated the Hart and the McElroy followers and many other influential Democrats will take the field against him, and he will not draw heavily from Republican sources, as every friend of George Piper will go down the line fighting him for the part he played in Piper's defeat. If those supporting the municipal ownership idea nominate George Cottrill, then Moore would not get as many votes by quite a few hundred as would Cottrill, for after all he is not near so popular as Cottrill even in Democratic circles. * * * The labor union people have already issued a call for a city convention to put in the field a full Municipal Ownership ticket. This, in fact, is said to be a move on the part of the Seattle Electric Company to prevent the municipal ownership move from getting in its work on the Republican party. If Republicans advocate the measure after it has been hobbyized by union labor they will be branded as renegade Republicans advocating labor union doctrines. The labor leaders, so goes the story, that are fathering this move, are to be paid well for their efforts if they succeed in making municipal ownership so obnoxious in Seattle that no Republican will dare to advocate its adoption either in convention or at the polls, which accounts for the earliness of their convention. *** Many Republicans are endorsing W. D. Perkins for city treasurer. Mr. Perkins himself has said nothing whatever about the nomination, and it is not known whether he would or would not have it, but many Republicans have declared within the past week that, if he wanted the nomination they would work for him. In view of the fact that the voters are inclined to believe that the same men should not handle the city funds year in and year out and that the treasury should be filled with new blod next year, and believing that Perkins would give them a change, quite a Perkins sentiment is now brewing. He is one of the big business men of the city and in every respect perfectly safe and sound. (Walla Walla Argus.) The opposition element to Senator Ankeny is jubilating over the split among the Ankeny supporters caused by the turning down of Editor Lorton. It is indisputable that Mr. Lorton has his friends, and many of them, and it is equally true that these friends entertain a feeling of resentment because of the questionable means employed to depose so loyal and influential a party worker. It is general conceded that Mr. Lorton's dismissal is due to political animosities which arose in the Republican party of this state, and the libel case was made to do duty in concealing the real trouble. As to whether Mr. Lorton was justified in looking for leniency from those whom he offended, The Argus cannot say; but that the already weakened party in this county has now been demoralized, is too apparent for contravention. Mr. Lorton was a power in county politics—too powerful for his own good, evidently, and off came his head. Where is his successor coming from, and are we all expected to smother our intelligence and independence as men and cower beneath the lash of some imported slave driver? Mr. Lorton is still chairman of the county central committee, and will probably retain the position until the next county convention. Having been driven from the house of his friends, what is there to prevent the antis from capturing the entire organization at the next convention and keep Mr. Lorton at the head of it? Then there would be something doing, for a certainty. Before this trouble occurred, The Argus foresaw the defeat of the Ankeny party, but now there is no such party to defeat. Where are the men who will stand up to the rack and take hard knocks for a man who has absolutely no sense of gratitude? Who, among all the men who so loyally stood by Senator Ankeny through his long campaign, can say that his services and loyalty have been appreciated? If Mr. Lorton were the only man having a grievance, the case would be different; but the spirit of enthusiasm in everyone has been chilled by the cold and enshrouding gloom that none may penetrate and in whose mysterious depths there reigns the awful stillness of death. Mrs. Mary Ramsey Woods, an Oregon woman, is said to be the oldest woman in the world, she being now in her 119th year and still in fairly good health, able to walk about the yard and do little things. She was born in Tennessee and rode across the plains from the Missouri river to Oregon on horseback when she was sixty-six years of age. Between 5,000 and 6,000 persons are eligible to vote on the bond election next Thursday, and if you have any respect for your children and perhaps their children and even their children's children, you will vote for those bonds. Public parks are not only ornamental, but very much more useful than ornamental, and so far as the poor folk and the middle classes are concerned, they are life and happiness for all time to come to them. Vote yes next Thursday. TRIALS OF THE WEEKLY PRESS. B. J. White has retired from the Island County Times and has been succeeded by P. H. Knott. Elitor White had built up a splendid country paper in the Times and so much so that his successor will have practically easy sailing. The annual number of the Ellensburg Dawn was issued last Thursday and is chock full of facts about the Kititas valley in general and Ellensburg in particular. Those are the kind of papers that attract new settlers to a community and the farmers and merchants of that valley should see to it that many hundreds of copies of the Dawn be sent broadcast over the land, that the good qualities of the community may become better known. When the East Washingtonian hurls the following at ex-Editor Lorton: "Eugene Lorton has resigned his position as editor of the Walla Walla Union, Senator Ankeny's paper. The retired editor is out in print, with a batch of seathing denunciations of the political methods employed by the crowd with which he has affiliated. If Mr. Lorton is sincere now, why was he silent so long?" It seems to overlook the fact that Lorton was earning his bread and butter editing Ankeny's paper. The Davenport Tribune is of the opinion that if any day in the year should be childrens' day it is Christmas, and all parents should see to it that they make it so. We would be willing to bet a brass button that the editor of the Tribune is speaking from personal experience, and we quite agree with him. Every father and mother should see to it that Christmas be a day of joy for their children and if they do so it will most assuredly be one of exceeding happiness for them. According to last month's customs report Sumas is the fourth port of entry in the state in every respect and is steadily creeping toward the third place. Only Seattle, Tacoma and Port Townsend are in the lead of it. Blaine disputes the fourth place with Sumas during the fishing season, when that port receives an additional spurt, but the rest of the year Sumas easily leads.—Sumas News. The Okanogan country is now on the eve of a progressive and prosperous era such as very few sections of the West have heretofore experienced. With the assurance of government reclamation work on the Okanogan project near Riverside and Alma, the promise of irrigation on the Methow and near Brewster; the building of a railroad through the north end of the county and the increased activity in all the mining sections, it is plainly evident that great and rapid strides will be made there in the next few years. The mining industry is experiencing a great revival throughout the entire upper country, and particularly in the Loomis and Similkameen districts.—From Spokesman-Review. A Missouri man was traveling in Arkansas with a native evangelist. Finally the Mis- THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN sourian asked his companion where he was going. "I am on my road to heaven," said the evangelist. "How long have you been on the road?" "Eighteen years," answered the evangelist with a sigh "My friend," remarked the Missourian as he reigned in his horse, "if you have been on the road to heaven for eighteen years and haven't got further than Arkansas I don't care to travel with you. Man, you are not over a mile and a half from hell right now."—Ex. UNCLE SAM'S MEN AND WOMEN. By Prof. W. F. Wilcox of Cornell University. "Since 1850 there has been at each census an excess in the number of men over that of women. This excess has shown a steady increase, with the sole exception of the census of 1870, and this exception is explained easily by the influence of the war of secession, which on the one hand increased the male mortality, and on the other checked immigration. The greatest relative excess was in 1890, when for each 10,000 inhabitants there were 242 more men than women. In 1900 the excess was only 216 per 10,000; but this figure, although smaller than that for 1860 and 1890, is higher than that of other censuses. As nearly as may be affirmed, it would appear that throughout the whole world there is an excess of men; in America this is greatest, while in Europe there are more women than men. "Mr. Wilcox examines the differences in distribution of the sexes between cities and the country and reaches this general conclusion: In thickly settled regions there are more women than men, or a tendency toward this state of things; in thinly settled places there are more men than women. Thus, in the states of Massachusetts and Rhode Island and the District of Columbia, there are respectively 48.7, 49.1, and 47.4 per cent of males, while in Wyoming and Montana the percentages are 62.9 and 61.6. Cities have a greater percentage of women than the country; in 1,861 cities with over 2,500 inhabitants the excess of women in 1900 was 201, 959, while in the country there was an excess of 1,840,280 men. These tendencies have become stronger since 1890, when, in 1,490 cities of more than 2,500 inhabitants there were an excess of 6,929 men, the excess of men in the country being only 1,519,559. The following table enables us to appreciate the differences better: 1890 in cities, 500 men to 1,000 inhabitants. 1890 in country, 519 men to 1,000 inhabitants. 1900 in cities, 497 men to 1,000 inhabitants. 1900 in country, 520 men to 1,000 inhabitants. In 1890 the difference in favor of the country was thus 19 men to the thousand, while in 1900 it was 23. Facts of the same order, but expressed in different figures, are observed in the commercial regions of Western Europe; both here and there we must attribute the movement of women toward the cities to the greater facilities for work that they find there. It is interesting to note that the excess of women in the cities extends to children of less than five years. In fact, in cities of over 25,000 inhabitants there are 503 boys to the thousand; in the rest of the country, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 22, 1905. 506 to the thousand. Besides the economic factor we must probably take infantile mortality into account here. The mortality of the United States is less in the country than in the city; in the whole country it was, in 1900, 19 to the thousand for men (20 in the city and 15.8 in the country), while for women it was 16.6 to the thousand (17.2 in the city, 15 in the country)."—Translation made for The Literary Digest. GRAFTING. The Negroes of this community who have any regard for honesty, decency and respectability, and they run up into the hundreds, are absolutely and emphatically opposed to political grafting of all kinds by members of their race. They are content to let the superior (?] race have a monopoly of this kind of business. Every campaign there are two species of Negro grafters who spring into being. The first class have quasi—respectability, as they graft in their own name, and as individuals. They profess to represent nobody but themselves. They declare open and above board that they must be paid for whatever services they may render. Such men have a certain sense of honor. The second class are void of the first vestige of honor or respectability, inasmuch as they allege to be the president of this or that organization, which embraces in its membership all Negoes of standing in the community whose votse and influence this self-constituted lear will deviler over to the individual candidate who will pay him the price. The so-called organization exists only in the imagination of the self-constituted leader. Extravagant as his claims are, those who are ready to believe them plank down handsomely. There is no excuse for candidates being the victims of Negro grafters. They can ascertain, if they will inquire, the exact satus of these men in the community and it is their duty to do so. The city campaign is not far off, and we sound this note of warning now. The Enterprise serves notice that it is going to expose every grafter against whom evidence can be collected. ```markdown ``` We are opposed to all grafters, and particularly to Negro grafters, because they damage us as a people. Another method of grafting, of which merchants are largely the victims, is the advertising fake. Some glib-tongued stranger will come to town and get out "a Negro Business Men's Directory," with a roster of lodges and churches and pretend that it is a bona fide proposition. Enough coppies will be gotten out to collect the price of the advertisements and then the glib-tongued stranger will fit. This kind of business is an imposition upon our merchants, an injury to legitimate publication and worthy enterprises and a serious drawback to us as a people. We intend to expose all grafters of this species.—Omaha Enterprise. Dr. Crichton is now prepared to give his "noise ordinance" an enthusiastic support, as he has statistics from a number of large cities as to their methods of suppressing the noise on the streets, the blowing of whistles and the ringing of bells, all of which he believes Seattle can successfully put in operation.

Sometimes they are sufficiently intelligible amid all their drollery. Anybody, for example, could guess what is mean by these orthographic and lexicographic monstrosities: "Shoes-Shop Manufaktaery;" "Wine, Beer and Other Medicines;" "Spiritual Liquors;" "Tobacco Nist;" "Photogropist;" "Dealer in Coke and Cole for Both Ship and Land;" "Washins and Ironins;" "Carver and Gilder for Sail;" "Ladies Outfitter;" "The Best Perfuming Waters Anti-Fleas;" and even "Greatest Loafer in Nagasaki." But one has to hesitate for a second or so before "French Infections" resolves itself into "French Confections," and "Berber" into "Barber," and "The Improved Milk" into milk sterilized and put into bottles. Still more cryptic are "The Ribbons, the Laces, the Veils, the Feelings" (query, veilings or rufflings?); "World Name (world famous) Wine," and "Cheminary English in Night." In fact, the last standing in and for itself would be inscrutable. Only from the environment can one catch the intention of the literary resident behind the sign, viz.: to announce to the public that he keeps a night school for instruction in the English language.

A melodramatic comedy replete with striking sensational scenes and startling situations is the attraction at the Third Avenue Theatre next week. The play is from the pen of the author of "A Poor Relation" and "Peaceful Valley," two plays that have made Sol. Smith Russell famous. It is a portrayal of an American tramp—not a re NOGIFT LIKETHE CHICKERING PIANO! The Baby Grand—what a gift of gifts! It can be had now—delivered Christmas morning or Saturday night.

HOUGHTON & HUNTER JEWELERS 704 First Ave. Seattle THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN pulsive, ever-to-be-shunned outcast, but a man who through misfortune was compelled to wander upon the face of the earth; but whose heart, well knowing his own distress, still bleeds for others' woes and who offers even his life to help right the wrongs of others even more unfortunate than he. The locals of this drama is laid in rural New England, and the motive is greed for gold, a greed with which even a husband is sometimes overpowered, and for which he terribly wrongs his life's partner. The story is complex and will be well worked out by a competent cast of gifted players. In the cast are such well known artists as Miss Cora Lee Jefferson, Miss Berline Farnsworth, Miss Virginia Melville, Miss Vera Wilson, Messrs. Clark Ross, Wm. S. Ely, William Lee and Maurice Irvington. Laughter chasing away tears, bright, scintillating flashes of wit dispelling gloom, and catchy specialties aiding in making the hours fly like minutes, are promises held forth. A special matinee will be given Christmas. A brilliant cast, a beautiful chorus, lyrics which linger and music with an incessant jingle to it; costumes which have never been equalled and a scenic investiture of magnificent proportions, all combine to make Henry W. Savage's offering, the Korean comic opera "The Sho Gun," one of the most notable comic opera productions of the past decade. Mr. Savage, never a believer in the half-way method of producing a play or an opera, has excelled even himself in this instance, and it is believed that this season the production will receive as much if not more commendation than it received last year. George Ade contributed the book and lyrics of the opera, while Gustav Luders supplied the musical embellishment. In the cast engaged in the interpretation of the opera at the Grand will be found John E. Henshaw, Agnes Cain Brown, William C. Weedon, Genevieve Day, E. P. Parsons, T. C. Leary, May Ten Broeck, D. H. Opp Poppin, Isabelle D'Armond, Lawrence Coever. The opera is in two acts, both laid in the mythical island of Ka-Choo, in the Sea of Japan. The costuming and scenic equipment is in direct accord with historical data appertaining to Korea. Harry Short, who plays the leading comedy role of Alijah Booze in "The Yankee Consul," which will be heard at the Grand next week, has just signed a five years' contract with John P. Slocum, the manager of that organization. It is Mr. Slocum's intention ultimately to star Mr. Short in a musical comedy written expressly for him. THE INNOCENT MAIDS. The Innocent Maids Company, with its bery of beautifully formed women, will doubtless prove a great drawing card at the Seattle Theater, where it will be the attraction the coming week. The company is under the direction of T. W. Dinkins, which is a sufficient guarantee that it contains everything necessary to please burlesque lovers. Two elaborate burlesques are offered. The two stupendous burlesques are called "A Night at Newport," and "The Diamond Palace," and give an excellent chance for the cleverly selected company to appear to advantage. Musical numbers abound and are presented by a large and shapely chorus. Among the novel numbers to be seen are the golf girls, plantation girls, Samoan "THE SHO GUN." girls, chefs and kitchen maids, Salvation Army, flower girls and Adonis number. During and between the acts of the burleskue melanges a lively vaudeville bill will be rendered. This will include Markie and Moran, genuine mirth makers; Eugene Jerge, illustrated songs; Deonzo and Elliott, comedy acrobats and barrel jumpers; Aleene and Hamilton, singers and dancers, and Lida Dexter, the statuesque blonde.
