General Compson belonged to New

ANIMAL COMEDIANS
Ringing Bros. Create a Sensation
with the Lockhart Elephants.

The announcement that Lockhart's fam
ols comedy elephants have been secured by
the noted Ringing Bros. for their Worlds
greatest shows this season, has created a
sensation throughout the United States
The Lockhart comedy elephants are univer-
ously trained animal actors in the world.
In Europe. where they have recently been
delighting vast continental audiences, they
created a veritable flrore and excited more
widespread interest than any arenic feature
ever presented, even in the far famed cir
cuses of Paris, Berlin and ST. Petersburg.
These elephant comedians distinctly depart
from the old familiar oder of elephant per-
formances. They are not simply sstrained
animals;'' they are veritable animal actors,
displaying as much good sense and judg-
ment, as great an APPRECIATION of the humor
Of their several roles and as sincere desire
TO please and entertain the public as any
performer in the great exhibition. Their
work is distinctly unconventional They
present none of the stereotyped tricks that
constant repetition has familiarized with the
public, but give performance that is at
once new, startling and unique. Imagine a
troupe of elephants, each attired in cos
tune BETTING the character it portrays, pre-
senting complete comedy. The statement
seems beyond belief, and yet tits absolutely
true. Perhaps the most amusing comedy
presented by these elephant actors is one
| portraying the arrest, trial, conviction and
| incarceration of an elephant for intoxication.
The spectacle of the clown elephant, rolling
from side to side, apparently in the last
stages of drunken spree, is ludicrous in the
extreme In the midstof his revelry, the
policeman arrives, armed apple with a
huge official helmet and jauntily twirling a
club in his trunk. The offending elephant
attempts to escape but the policeman is too
quick for him. The offender is seized by
the ear, marched away to the magistrates
office, solemnly tried and sentenced by an
elephant judge sitting in his judicial Dig
/ nifty upon his judicial bench, and finally
hurried away, condemned prisoner, to suf-
Tier durance in the elephant Jail. In addition
to the several comedies presented by the
Lockhart elephant comedians, these wonder
full animal entertainers dance, march, per-
form the most difficult and intricate military
maneuvers, play upon musical instruments,
| present complete pantomines, and betray
numberless other evidences of their marvel
ously educated intelligence. Although they
can give an entire performance, these won
derful elephant actors constitute only one of
hundreds of superb features only to be seen
with Ringing Bros. famous exhibition,
which comes in all its magnificent complete.
