The John H. Sparks Shows

People who have vainly en-
deavored to extract satisfaction
from the big three ring shows,
will be surprised and delighted at
amount of keen enjoyment to be
had in witnessing the one ring
performance given by the splen-
did array of talent when the
Sparks Shows come to Durham,
March %. Everything will be
plainly visible to all, one first
class act following another, and
presented with a careful atten-
ton to detail that is impossible
the big shows. The costumes
are elegant and costly, the music
especially is fine, and nothing is
omitted that could add to the
pleasure and enjoyment of the
patrons.
Once more the audience is
brought in touch with the real
"old clowns, " and his songs ard
funny sayings can be heard and
appreciated. This is Sparks
-''logic eS- facts. "
An ounce of gold is worth tons
of dross. One frst-class act is
worth more than a dozen poor
ones. One ring is enough; two
is two many, and three is an
abomination. See Sparks and be
convinced.
