Jay Rial, for twenty years press ngent
of tho Bnrnum & Bailey circus, died
yesterday of pneumonia nt n hotel In
Wlnston-Salcm, N. O. Ho had been
111 but n few dnys. He was Blxtyclgbt
years old. " j
Jay Rial was ono of the most mlque
figures In the circus world. He wns nt
home In nny city from Canada to the
Gulf and from coast to coast, and was
the recognized diplomat of tho tnnbark
ring. His portfolio was n shenf of cir
cus pictures nnd press notices, rich In
dazzling adjectives, nnd an apparently
Unlimited supply of complimentary tick
ets to the "big top."
Mr. Rial was famljlnr with Industrial
conditions In every section of the coun
try. He knew officials in every city,
nnd could tell offhand how much Al
toona, Pa., or Peoria, Illi, charged for
parade privileges.
Jay Rial believed circus folks were
Just as good In every respect ns other
people, and he kept hnmmering away at
that Idea In nlmost every ndvnnce no
tice ho ever wrote. He had a personal
ity that made Itself felt the minute he
entered n newspaper office.
Beforo ho went out ahead of the Bnr
num show, twenty years ago, Mr. Rial
had engaged in theatrical enterprises.
One of his first big ventures wns a road
production of "Undo Tom's Cabin,"
which scored a big success.
Ho tried cold mining in South Afrlcn.
and was in Australia with n theatrical
production when the bubonic plague
forced him to return to America. He
managed several Chicago theatres.

A POWERFUL GAR
There are people who never go a-driving without
having to consider the limitations of their cars.
Who wants a car on his mind?
The unusual power of the Standard Eight makes
nothing of the steepest hills.
As one owner put it: "My car doesn't seem to know
there arc any hills."
Power such as this brings complete ease of mind and
a confidence that is the pith of the joy of motoring.

these popular songs for you:
From tho Musical Comedy
IRENE "Alice Blue Gown,"
"Irene," "Castle of Dreams" and
other popular favorites.
"Whispering," "Avalon," "Jap
anese Sandman" and "My Rose of
Yesterday" arc the four songs

in this country.
The Pacific Coast pulillshern ot
"Whispering" havo refused $80,000
for this little sontr. nnd It will prob
ably bo printed llast nnd West, In

Al Jolson has made "Avalon"
famous, and "Till We Moot

in the "Japanese Sandman."
"Rose of Yesterday" was this sea
son's greatest hit at Atlantic
City, and is now selling through
