THE

FAMOUS CIRCUS MAN CAN HANDLE EACH ACT Al. G. Barnes, who Is bringing the only exclusively wild animal circus in the world to Richmond Friday, Aug. 12, is recognized among showmen as an "animal wizard. He has an uncanny Bense of knowing Just how to handle both the wild beasts and the domestic variety. That he has beenable to Impart hit knowledge to others has added to his success and has resulted rn his building up a show that started with two small wagons to an organization that now requires two special trains to convey It from city to city. In the 103 acts persented at each performance of the Barnes circus there is not one that the owner cannot successfully handle. During the war, when practically his entire force of trainers were serving the various allied nations in the world's struggle for freedom, it was not an unusual thing for Mr. Barnes to personally "work" a dozen acts twice daily. With the assistance of Martha Florrine, who has been with him for fifteen years, Mabel Stark, employe for nine years, and Vera Lindsay in her fifth season, Mr. Barnes frequently gave the entire performance, and the excellent busi ness everywhere indicated that tin crowds were satisfied. Not only that, but superintendents of departments were scarce, and for days at a stretch Mr. Barnes supervised the putting up of tents and thfi taking down and loading of the out fit. Many of the workingmen had only one arm and others were minus a leg. while in the south It was necessary to use negro women to get the tents and seats ready. In spite of all the handicaps Mr. Barnes retained his cheerfulness, and during tho various war drives his advance department posted thousands of sheets of paper, and his animals were always at the disposal of local committees for demonstrations. In addition Mr. Barnes purchased a $1,000 cash bond in every city visited while drives were on, and in this vay acquired $67,000 worth of the government's guaranteed paper. (Indiana) 252S

RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND

The Theatres MURRAY. It is doubtful if any real social event at Newport, Palm Beach or Fifth avenue ever displayed such an array of youthful beauty and well groomed masculinity as are to be seen in "The Fighting Lover," the society melodrama starring Frank Mayo, nowj on view at the Murray theatre. A magnificent estate at Santa Barbara, California, was secured for some of the scenes in the Universal production, while the annual horse show was in progress at this popular Pacific resort. A prominent eastern society writer, who has reported the doings of the four hundred from Bar Harbor to Coronado, and who watched the film folks with much interest, made the observation that the principals in this screen feature outclassed the real society crowd. MURRETTE. "Hands Off," in which Tom Mix, famous western star of the dancing lariet and screaming gun, appeared at the Murrette theatre last night, is a drama, that is calculated to please a great majority of picture lovers. It is a William Fox production. The director, George E. Marshall ,has taken William McLeod Raine's story and by adding a thrill here and there where the action requires Mix to be on the screen has succeeded in turning out a photoplay of extraordinary force and attractiveness. Action is what has made photoplays popular and action plus ix personality is what puts over "Hands Off." There is a bank robbery .an attempted lynching, plenty Of gun plar and some daring riding. But the real big punch of the picture is the stampede of a wild horse herd through the streets of a town, where Mix outrides the herd, and saves the little sister of the heroine from the hoofs of the flying animals.
