AND NOT A 'BILL' AMONG THEM
The Mulhalls Go in for Wild West,
Lacking the Usual Complement

The Kansas City Star, 15 Apr 1910


The Mulhalls of Oklahoma have tried amateur home talent performances, world's fair shows and vaudeville, and now they are endeavoring to demonstrate the the "Bills" - Buffalo, Oklahoma and Pawnee - didn't know all there was to know about conducting a Wild West circus. They will bring their company of one hundred members to Convention Hall for a week's engagement, beginning Sunday night. There will be matinees every day beginning Monday.

The Mulhall family proper consists of Lucille - whok, by the way, is the wife of a Kansas City man, Martin Van gergen - Charley, Mildred and Georgia. Riding, lariat throwing and shooting, to the Mulhall young women, are as making fudge and serving pink tea on the veranda to other girls. "Charley" challenges anybody to "bust a broncho" with more eclat and finesse than he stars.

Another star of the company is Ellison Carroll, who holds the world's championship medal for roping, throwing and tying wild steers. He constantly is attempting to lower his record of seventeen seconds.

There will be trick and fancy lariat throwing and riding, exhibitions by educated horses, including "Governor," Lucille Mulhall's $10,000 trained equine; Indian dances and "massacres," a stage coach hold-up, with the usual accompaniment of red fire and the roaring of 44s; a bull fight and other features.
