WOMAN TRAIHER

OF WILD BEASTS

Mrs. Iselde Russell Coming to

Richmond With Carnival.

SHE TELLS OF HER WORK.

DECLARES THERE STILL IS A WONDERFUL FASCINATION ABOUT IT, DESPITE THE MANY DANGERS THAT EXIST.

i c "Oh, there's more or less of a fascination about the business and I fancy that's the reason I still train animals," says. Mrs. Iselde Russell, the noted animal trainer, who comes Richmond next week with tlDe Hatch shows. , You sse I have been at it so long? that my work is now almost second nature to me. I am quite well aware of the danger and all that, but even if I am a little woman I flatter myself that I have taken care of this little body of mine, and barring

this last experience I da not feel much the worse for my thrilling and sometimes painful encounters. This 'iast experience" occurred two weeks ago at Elyria, O., where she was badly scratched and lacerated in an effort to subdie: a bear that was in an uncommonly ugly humor. So badly was she. injured that she has not been able to work since, her place being taken by one of the trainers, but it is believed she will be able to do her acotoraed acts in the arena next week. Interesting Career. Mrs. Russell has a most interesting

history, as well as personality. She

first became famous in America in 1901, when she was married to her late husband in the lions cage at the Pan-American exposition. Prior to to that she had won international renown. She has in her veins proud Castilian blood intermingled with that of one of the best families in England. Her father was no less a person than Augustus Maitland Roland Douglas Hamilton, lata commander in the British navy. It was a search for her father that brought her to this country. After the death of her mother the father married again. Leaving her with the stepmother, he came to America. When Mrs. Russell arrived here she found the father had taken tinder himself another wife, whom Mrs. Russell describes as a typical comic supplement edition of step-mother. When Mrs. Russell made herself known she was creeted with, a saluation extraor-,

dinary a none too gentle blow over

the left eye with a French-heel slip

per.

'Tve trained many animals in my

time," said Mrs. Russell," but Ma

dame Step-mother was of the sort of genus feline I could never in the

world manage."

Mrs. Russell is small, of athletic

build and possesses a most pleasin

face and a mass of deep auburn hair,

Her eyes are of unusual brightness

and. according to hr nwn statement

she is but slightly over 5 feet high and weighs 110 pounds. Despite her petite, stature she handles the largest

of lions with an ease so those who

have seen her say that Is truly won

derful. She is fearless.

. lou might as well pack up and

retire from the business," said she, "if you begin to feel the least mite

timid. Animals discover fear instan

tly and lose no time in taking advan

tage of it. But what s the use of

being frightened?" she naively ad-i

ded.

Referring to her Elyria experience,

she said that during the entire en

counter with the bear, which lasted

fully three minutes, she was not the

least ruffled. "These scars and

scratches are not 'press agent marks,'

are they?" she asked.

Assisted by a German trainer, who

accompanied her to this country, Mrs.

Russell will give daily exhibitions of

her methods to be pursued in train

ing the two lions received last week by Mr. Hatch. These lions are comparatively "green" and will be seen in

separate cage, which Mrs. Russell will

enter to show the audience how she

puts the beasts through their first

paces.

It includes the following: Piano overature, Miss Grayce Miller; cornet solos, Laure Davenport; acrobatic singing and dancing, the Gladstone Sisters; illustrated songs, Mrs. Peptner; a comedy sketch, Laura and Southern;, Irish character songs, Lottie West Sy'monds, known to the stage as .'"the "Irish Countess"; a great trunk mysery, Lercy and Morris, and he Philoscope, showing he latest motion pictures. Few bills in recent weeks have

offered a more pleasing variety of entertainment than this. Last night's performance ended a week that was quite satisfactory at the New Phillips,

both in point of program and patron

age. No Vaudeville at Gennett.

Manager Swisher has decided not to

put on vaudeville at the Gennett this week and as no other attractions were

booked for this time, the house will be dark all week.
