FORTY MERRY CLOWNS.
The Comedy Element Distinct
Feature of Ringing Bros
Great Circus.

Forty funny clOWns-fOrty merri-
ment- t-makers-furnish the comedy for
Ringing Brothers Worlds Greatest
Shows, the famous big circus, that is
to exhibit in Duluth, Monday, June %.
These clever pantomimic comedians are
not introduced simply as "fill-ins," but
as an essential part Of the program.
From time to time during the perform
ance they present fun-plays and laugh
able comedies, so nicely timed and so
admirabl fitted into the more startling
portions of the programme as to keep
the audience in a, constant state of in
termittent wonder and merriment.. It
is pure-~fun-genuine 3fun-tlle
kind of fun which men, and women,
and children enjoy, and which makes
life brighter and better for it's enjoy
ment. If there is anything these clever
clowns do not perform, it is something
that has not yet been invented. They
run the entire gamut of human fun
making. They are actors, and comedi-
ans, and musicians, and acrObats, and
contortionists and grimalkins, all in
one, while an entire carload of para
phernalia is used in their varied and
mirth- provoking performances. There
are the tallest of giants, and the fun
niest of dwarfs; giraffes, with the most
wonderful rubber necks, that twist and
turn in a marvellous and ridiculous
way; donkeys that dance and turn
somersaults; funny fat policemen, with
mammoth heads and caps big enough
for hundred ordinary men; dudes and
tramps. Dutchmen and Irish women,
Pantaloons and fat boys, and any num-
Der of other laughable characters.
These merry-makers are never idle,
and often a half-dozen roaring come
dies will be enacted at one time. The
introduction Of the comedy element in
the performance gives that pleasing
light and shade to the exhibition which
has helped to give Ringing Bros
great circus it's worldwide fame. No
other department of the show is neg
lected. however. The acrobats, aerial
lists, riders and other artists are all new
this year, and comprise the greatest
