The Dillon herald. [volume] (Dillon, S.C.) 1894-????, 1911-10-19

The Western country has given
up its most priced treasures to the
John Robinson 10 Big Shows Com
bined to perfect the organization of
the wild west department of this
gigantic organization, which will be
here on Thursday, October 26
Ever since shows have been shows
and tentend aggregations have been
the chosen caterers Of amusements
there has been a distinction between
ring shows and the wild west shows.
With customary progress and again
as a criterion for the others Mana
ger John Robin has this sesaon sue
successfully cemented the two great
American attractions. For the first
time In show history patrons of the
John Robinson Show will be permit
Ted to enjoy the most diversified
program that was ever arranged
for their entertainment by the pre-
senting of both the wild west and
the unequalled circus performance
under adjoining tents and to en-
joy both of which there will be
no change of seats nor any ad-
vance in the price of admission.
So gigantic has been this undertak-
ing that other show-men have shud-
dered and made all kinds of predic-
lions but they were wrong and Man
ager Robinson was more than right
Tor the Innovation has not only been
a success as an added department
but has more than given satisfac-
tion to the thousands of patrons
who have enjoyed it,
The wild west show as given with
the John Robinson show has all of
the features that have other eXhi-I
bltions of this nature popular. Both
hn N11
try will be seen as it used to be
and as it now is. The struggles of
the early settlers TO the western ell
dorado and in doing which so many
lost their lives will be truthfully
portrayed. Many of the battles
fought then will be fought over
again for your entertainment. The
Indians, cowboys, Mexicans and
soldiers will let you see how the
war was waged on the frontier. The
sports, pastimes, games, contests
and vocations and in fact a days
life in the west of the present will
be shown by the cowboys, cowgirls
and western characters generally.
The John Robinson show has
with it over 100 Indians, cowboys.
cowgirls, scouts, plainsmen, pioneers
and western characters and the per-
formance they give is not only in
teresting but decidedly instructive
as well as educating. Many of the
Indians are chiefs who have made
Indian history famous. They are
the true Indians and not these who
have lost their individuality in civ
ilization. One of the appreciated
features is the Indian settlement
where the Indian and his family
may be seen as he truly is in all
of his grandness and just as Rem
ington has so often pictured him.
In the settlement will be seen the
tie papooses and modes of warfare
and houselife If such can be desig-
mated to these tent dwellers.
In the wild west arena he is seen
In buffalo hunts, battle, as a trap
per and woodsman. Little can be
learned Of the Indian from the
tales OF fiction for he must be
seen to be fully understood. 1t is
doubtful IL better opportunity was
ever afforded than with the John
Robinson show for there has been
nothing left undone nor overlook
ed in order to truthfully show In
dian life and customs. 1t would not
be out of place to say here that
the wild west show Is but one OF the
many departments with the Robin
son show and 1t Is part of the one
great program and to see which
Is no extra charge for it is given
IN connection with the other de-
partments and one ticket admits the
holder to every department of this
big show.
