One pretty miss performs in bending and twisting into all sorts of shapes and positions. A small boy sings in a clear and musical voice and is given much applause for his super ability in singing. This act is worth the price of the entire show. Gulfport and Brown, two negro performers, are real entertainers. They sing, joke and dance and know how to keep the audience from going to sleep. In their line are none better and they are real artists in their work. The Royal Moorish Troupe of athletes, known as the Whirlwind Tumblers, give an athletic exhibition of tumbling, strength feats, etc., such as rarely seen on the stage. These people from the north .of Africa, and of the old Romans, show class and feature athletic work that is amazing and wenderful. The leader of the troupe holds up seven men, two of whom stand upon Ills shoulders and the balance cling to his bcdy, showing the marvelous strength of this present day Samson. This great bill will continue all week, ending next Tuesday night. RALPH CLONINGER OPENS WILKES THEATRE NEXT WEEK.
