GENNETT. April 25 "Dora Thome." April 27 -"When Knighthood Was In Flower. PHILLIPS. rVeek of April 22 Repertoire.

"Dora Thome Gennett. Dora Thome," which will be seen lit the Gennett on Thursday afternoon and night, is a dramatization of Bertha M. Clay's famous novel. Messrs Rowland and Clifford have given it a magnificent production. In speaking cf it one critic says: "Dora TLorne Is a literary composition so unstudied

and so faultlessly arranged that its success is not dependent upon melodramatic climaxes and situations. It stands in contrast to the average melodrama like the inspiring freshness and coolness of an Autumn morning compared with the sultry and tempestuous summer heat."

"When Knighthood was in Flower" Gennett. Grace Merritt in "When Knighthood was in Flower" is the attraction announced for the Gennett Saturday matinee and night. As to the play, "When Knighthood was in Flower" little need be said. As is well known it is probably the most successful dramatization of a novel which has been produced in the last decade. Although the story revolves around the lowly "Charles Brandon's" courtship

of the beautiful "Mary Tudor," and

introduces England's court characters during the reign of Henry the Eighth.

the play is as fraught with interest

Those who have seen the Barnum & Bailey greatest show on earth, this season, say that the big circus has an unusually large number of clever women among the 300 and more perform

ers.

among tne most attractive In face and figure, are Marie and Ouika Meers. These Meers girls belong to the famous English Meers family, whose marvellous ability as riders has given them a reputation encircling the globe. Another clever young woman is Ella Bradna. As a principal bareback rider. Miss Bradna is credited with being the peer of any equestrienne ever

seen in this country. She is a Swiss girl, but is "at home" anywhere in Europe. Her riding habits are described as models of the tailor's art. She is a devotee of the new school of circus costuming, in which trunks and tights have -to a great extent given way to handsome, up-to-date evening gowns. The beauty of her performance is enhanced by the strikingly

Another

young woman who attracts attention by the fetching character of her costumes, as well as by her exceptional cleverness as a rider, is Josie DeMott. Miss DeMott is the only equestrienne in America who turns a somersault on

a" moving horse.

There are many other clever young

women with the show who are said to display unusual cleverness in acrobatic horsemanship. These are only a few of the clever women who will appear with the Barnum & Bailey show when it exhibits here on May 11. Among the other features are the gorgeous "Peace" spectacle, a trio of new and startling "thrillers," a splendid menagerie and a revival of the old Roman hippodrome races on an elaborate scale.
