Remarkable Riders With Ringing
Bros Famous Big Circus

Ringing Brothers. whose famous big
circus will play return engagement in Bir-
mingham, Monday, November 6, after an
absence of three years, announce a re-
markable list of great horsemen and horse
women in connection with their arenic
programme
Michael and John Rooney who head the
list of champion male riders. belong to the
younger generation, but they are already
the greatest bareback equestrians In the
world Associated with them are Edward
Ship, Cecil Lowande, William DeVan. Dan
Leon, and, not least, Albert Crandall.
whose burlesque riding act upon the back
of mule is one of the cleverest and most
laughaible performances ever seen in a cir
Gus ring Among the numerous lady riders
Elena Ryand claims particular attention
for her graceful and sprightly perform
ances. This dashing equestrenne is ably
seconded by Julia Lowande, Olga Reed
Lizzie Rooney, Nellie Fields. the beautiful
Sultana, and nearly dozen other lady
riders, each of whom is an artistic of inter-
national reputation. In connection with
this notable array of riders, Ringing
Brothers offer the most complete concourse
of hgh-class acrobatic aerial gymnic and
other arenc specialists ever presented by
any circus in America. Circus day will be
an occasion to be long remembered. The
two performances to be given here will be
preceded by a magnificent free street pa
rade, presented upon scale of grandeur
and magnitude never attempted by any
other circus management. Ringing
Brothers have won their worldwide fame
as circus managers by their original meth
DDS. and their absolute disregard of expense
when the pleasure and entertainment of
their patrons is in question. and their re-
splendent street display is striking illus
tration of what brains, energy and unlim-
tied capital can accomplish in the field of
professional advertisement. The perform
ance is introduced by a beautiful, patriotic
spectacle, 1.-THE Last Days of the Century"
fittingly commemorative the recent glorious
triumphs of Uncle Sam and Americas citi-
zen soldierly over an alien foe, and giving
an opportunity for the most imposing mill
tary display. The performance that follows
Is presented in three rings, upon two stages,
in mid-air and a huge hippodrome racing
course, and in novelty, originality and now
and never-before-seen features is the most
remarkable exhibition ever organized.
