BIG WILD WEST SHOW
FEATURE OF STATE FAIR
California Frank, With Celebrated
Entertainers, One Of Bio Acts.

Entertainers, One Of Big Acts.
Realizing the public interest in
wild west shows, the State Fair man
agement searched the amusement
world for weeks in a determination
TO get the best that could be had
They signed California Franks Wild
West show mainly because the repu-
tation of this show and it's continued
success for season after season be-
fore the public warranted the opin-
ion that it was just what was needed
to give the Michigan State Fair it's
FL of the thrilling and exciting en-
tertainment afforded by a good wild
west show.
California Frank himself is an en-
tertainer without a peer, and he has
surrounded himself with artists who
excel in their respective lines. Rough
riders, trick riding, fancy shooting,
trained animals, and all pervaded
with the eXhiliarating atmosphere Of
the far west in the early days, fol-
low one another in rapid succession.
There isn't dull moment in the en-
tire entertainment, and for per-
Torrance which is given many times
daily it teens with interest for the
average fair visitor.
In presenting a wild west show
whose performances does not run all
afternoon or evening, it is necessary
to get the very best performers in
the wild west business. This Cali
fornia Frank has done. Princess We
mona, hailed as the worlds champion
lady rife shot, is said by Buffalo Bill,
Pawnee Bill, Colonel Cummins and
other competent judges. to be the
most expert woman shot in the world
today. One of her celebrated acts is
to shoot glass balls as fast as they
are thrown in the air, from the back
Of madly galloping western pony.
This and other features of her act
win her storm of applause wherever
she appears.
Mile. Sommervile and her dancing
horse Columbus, valued at $4,000. is
another act that stands by itself, fer
Columbus, besides being one Of the
handsomest brutes ever shown, really
dances to the music of % competent
Indian band. He waltes, two-steps,
does clog dances and fancy figures,
all at the command of his attractive
trainer, and the applause of the
throngs satisfy him, for he mods his
head in almost human appreciation
of the welcome. Columbus has been
with California Franks show for two
seasons, having appeared before that
as a separate act i'm vaudeville and at
parks and eXpositions
Trick donkeys, bucking horses
which may be ridden by anyone who
thinks he can ride, lariat throwing,
tricks on horseback and other fea-
lures go to make up a thoroughly
pleasing entertainment. California
Franks show will be one of the many
big features of the coming State Fair
and will draw thousands of people
during the week of Sept. 19-24th for
the opportunity is not often present
ed of seeing a congress of experts in
the wild west show business.

INTERESTING EXPERIENCES
OF DEEP SEA DIVERS
Capt. Sorcho Will Entertain Thou"
sands In His State Fair Shcw.


sands In His State Fair Shcw.
The most terrifying experience that
ever befell Captain Louis Sorcho, the
deep sea diver who will appear on
the Midway at the coming Michigan
State Fair, happened while he was
working on the wreck of large pas
senger steamer off Barnegat, n. j.
He was searching for the bodies OF
the passengers, and while in the
cabin of the steamer the vessel rolled
over making hi ma prisoner. Luckily,
bis air hose was not broken or
checked, and, while he was unable to
answer the signals of his tenders on
the surface, the latter continued to
send him the life-giving air through
the hose. For nearly two hours he
was busily engaged in burrowing his
way out through the mud in which
the vessel lay.
His life lines and air hose were
hopelessly entangled in the wreckage,
so he saved himself by cutting them
free, casting off his weighted belt and
shoes. The air inside his armor
brought him to the top with q rush,
and there he was fished out by his
men. more dead than alive.
It>is in telling about and describing
such experiences and then showing
how they happen under water that
Captain Sorcho has achieved his rep
utation as an entertainer second to
none. Everywhere he has shown his
diving act it has made a great hit,
and the State Fair management con-
siders itself fortunate in the extreme
in being able to present Sorcho to
Michigan people. The widespread in
terest in aquatics, it is believed, will
result in Sorcho's show being strong
drawing card at the State Fair.
