"Greatest Show on Earth"

Seems Certainty Now The boast of all circus men in the world that theirs was the "Greatest Show on Earth" is now less a matter of opinion than ever before, for Barnum & Bailey and the Ringling Brothers have combined their shows, thus forming what the press representative declares to be the "colossus of all i amusement" The announcement of the consolidation was made yesterday in Bridgeport, Conn., the winter home of all things pertaining to tho sawdust realm. The new show will be known as Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Combined. The Barnum & Bailey Circus was purchased by the Ringlings from the James A. Bailey estate in the fall ot 1907. Since then the Ringling . Bro thers directed both circuses, but have maintained them as distinctive institutions, each with its own staff of managers and separate corps of for eign agents. They kept the shows ex actly the same In size. The greater circus, which has been formed by combining the biggest and best features of the two shows, is what the Richmond youngsters will see this year. DIES IN FRANCE AFTER TWO YEARS' SERVICE - Howard Armstrong, son of Mrs. Lau ra Armstrong, 707 North Eighteenth street, died in France last summer, the cause unknown, according to a government telegram received by Mrs. Armstrong last Thursday afternoon. Armstrong had the distinction of arriving in France in June, 1917, just two months after the United States declared war against Germany. Following his arrival there he wrote his mother that he had joined the American army. The next spring Mrs. Armstrong received a letter from her son saying that he had gone into battle and had taken part in some of the heavy fighting of the early part of 1918. This was followed by a government message received last summer from the war department which said that Armstrong was missing in action. This message was followed by several months of silence, and then another government message informed Mrs. Armstrong that her son had been severely wounded in action. On last Thursday, three months after the last official word, a telegram came to her from Washington, saying that Howard Armstrong had died in France cause unknown, between July 18 tnd 24, 1918. No particulars were given. Armstrong was with Company F, 18th Infantry, of the American Expeditionary forces. School Garden Picture Will Be Shown Monday To increase the interest in school garden work a picture put out by the government is to be shown at the Washington theatre next Monday morning and again at the high school auditorium in the afternoon and evening. All the grade school pupils and Garfield pupils will view the picture at various hours arranged by schedule for the morning and afternoon. At 7:30 in the evening the high school pupils will see the picture in the high school auditorium and the patrons of the school will be admitted free at 8 o'clock. Arrangements have been made whereby all the school children of the city will in this way see the picture, and it is hoped that greater interest in the work, which was undertaken so well by the schools during last year, will be obtained through the viewing of this picture, showing the work being done in other schools of the country. Churches Increase Efforts To Stimulate Attendance "Go to church" campaign inaugurated two weeks by the Church Federation fell below normal last Sunday. Five thousand "Go to Church" window cards have been given out to be used to advertise the campaign. The Rev. L. E. Murray announced Saturday that plans would be laid soon to stimulate interest in the church attendance campaign among Richmond people. Nineteen churches reported an attendance of 5,407 last Sunday at Sunday school and both morning and evening services. Inclement weather was the chief cause of a deficit in the attendance last Sunday of 1,385 over the preceding Sunday. The Sunday before a total attendance of 4,972 was reported from Richmond churches. The aggregate attendance at the different services were as follows; bible school, 2.320; morning worship, 1,695 and evening service 1,392.

(Continued from Page Four) received her education and her first stage training under the management of Arthur Bouchier. She is a favorite with directors who want a woman who can be depended upon without fail to do exactly the right social thing in exactly the right way, and at exactly the right time. And if you don't think this is such a hard thing to find, ask any director. One of Miss Selwyn's best roles is in Herbert Rawlinson's special attractions, "Smashing Through." Another is in Brand Whitlock's "The Double Standard," and George Bronson Howard's "Come Through." She supported Mae Murray in her production of Rebecca Hooper Eastman's novel, "The Big Little Person," and "The Bride's Awakening." MURRAY. The authorship of both story and scenario for "The Girl Dodger" which is the bill at the Murray theater Friday and Saturday, is vested in J. G. Hawks, who is responsible for numerous Ince photoplays reieased by Paramount and Artcraft. His work is characterized by a genuine understanding of the personalities of the stars for whom he has written vehicles and his latest production is said to be one of his most entertaining creations. A strong quartette of acting talent is represented in Raymond Hatton, Winter Hall, Ralph Lewis and Charles Ogle, all of whom play important parts in support of Wallace Reid in his new Paramount picture, "The Dub," which comes to the Murrette theater today. All of them are well known to admirers of the best in screen acting and the teamwork they do in the picture is worthy of the highest praise. Raymond Hatton is very nearly a star in his own right. In Cecil B. DeMille's production of "The Whispering Chorus," in the same director's production of "Joan the Woman" and in Lila Lee's staring vehicle, "The Cruise of the Make Believes," he carried off high honors. Winter Hall played King Albert of Belgium in Mr. DeMille's production, "Till I Come Back to You," and has appeared in numerous other Paramount and Artcraft pictures. LYRIC. In "The Slacker," the Metro production de luxe starring the brilliant actress, Emily Stevens, to be shown I at the Lyric theatre on Sunday and Monday, will be, seen an exact duplicate of the flag that inspired Francis Scott Key to write the national anthem, "The" Star Spangled Banner." This was the flag that floated over Fort Henry at Baltimore, when the British fleet attacked the American fort. At that time the national em blem consisted of fifteen stripes and fifteen stars, and measured 40x30 feet. The duplicate of this flag, screened in "The Slacker," measures exactly the same as the original, which is one of the treasures of the United States j government. Under cover of a flag of truce, the young composer had gone on board a British war vessel ' to see a friend who was a prisoner, and during the night the British attacked the fortress. The sight of Old Glory, battle scarred, but still flying in the morning breeze, inspired him to write the im mortal song. SUNDAY Extra .

Through it all they managed to keep their motion picture camera; and the resultant film is the most amazing thing ever exhibited. "Cannibals of the South Seas' is rife with the spirit of adventure, the lure of azure seas and green savage isles, the undying romance of Conrad, Stevenson and London. ATTEND THE MATINEE NUF CED
