Beckmann and Gerety World's 1 Best shows, now exhibiting at Twenty-seca ond street and Sheridan road under the auspices of the North Chicago Loyal Order of Moose, are going to hold a five count matinee Saturday. That means Saturday afternoon each show and each ride with the big carnival will be five cents to each child. These matinees give the youngsters a chance to run "hog-wild" over the midway and have things their own way. The matinee starts at one o'clock Saturday and continues until six.

Showmen welcome these matinees. Children are keenly observant and always ready to express opinions. Their ideas often are worth consideration and lead to improvements in the world of shows. They also are a great relief to the showmen, because pleasing children is the next thing to "big business" with the nomads. The shows close their engagement in North Chicago Saturday at midnight.
