If the John Fl. Sparks Circus,
with headquarters in louisiana, is a
fair samnle of the southern shows.
northern managers have something yet
to learn in the circus business. Never
were local audiences more pleased
than those attending the afternoon
and evening performances last Thurs
day. Every act was pleasing and one
or two were almost good enough to be
'headliners" with RingIings Every
thing about the show was clean;
even the rousts b outs did not appear to
entertain their usual antipathy to-
ward soap and water. The parade
while not very long made a much
better showing than the professions of
many larger shows. John Fl Sparks
has proven that neither quality nor
quantity need to be sacrificed in run
ming a modern circus program in
one ring. As compared to the two
and three ring shows the old fashioned
circus is after all, a decided relief.
If is safe to say that no circus this
this season will give better satisfac-
tion in Lancaster than the Sparks
Show.
