CIRCUS DAY
IN SALEM is
SATURDAY
AL. G. BARNES GREAT TRAINED
ANIMAL CIRCUS HERE TOMOR-
ROW-BIG STREET PARADE
STARTS AT 10:30.

The 1911 circus season will open
tomorrow when the AL. G. Barnes
big three-ring animal circus will
give two performances in this city at
S. p show grounds. To say that it
is different than anything of its kind
which has even been seen here is
shown and appreciated by the Ned
ford Mail Tribune which says, "it is
the most thrilling and best show
which has been seen west of the
Rocky Mountains for many years"
Daily capital journal. (Salem, Oregon) 1903-1919, 1911-05-05

Everywhere the press has acknow-
ledged it to be something new from
the old circus which our forefathers
were accustomed to seel.
Long before the average individual
is up the big train of 20 cars will
slip into town, and by the time for
the parade the acres of tents which
are necessary to house the big at
traction will be in readiness for the
performance. To see a circus with
many aerial acts is but to see the
daily vaudeville but when 800 wild
animals, all of them trained to do
tricks which fall little short of the
impossible, perform under the direc-
tion of men and women trainers in
the mammoth steel arena with the
ease of human beings, then there is
something more than the average
show to be seen.
Lions ride horses and eat raw meat
from their trainers mouths. fero-
cious tigers and lions perform to-
gether as though they were never at
enmity, and it might be said here
that the troupe of tigers presented
by Mr.. Barnes, were bought at the
enormous expense of $4,000 from
the Maharajah of Ceylon, and are the
only group of Royal Bengal tigers
now being exhibited. Elephants
which give a vaudeville act all by
themselves, beautiful spotted Persian
leopards and South American pan
theirs which under the direction of
little Mile. Martha Florine present
tableauX vivante, mountain lions,
bears, cheetas, herd of sacred cat
tie. from India, high school horses,
ponies, dogs, riding goats, and the
greatest act now being presented in
the world, Mr.. Edwin Kelly entering
the cage of the monster untamable
African lion, Caesar Wallace. So
dangerous is this. act that the mana
ger of the tent, is required to contin-
ually keep firing revolver to dis
tract the attention of this beast
somewhat from Mr.. Kelly.
The big parade which will start
from the show grounds at 1O:9O
sharp will proceed through the prin-
cipal streets of the town and a more
beautiful pageant can hardly be
imagined. All the animals known to
the kingdom of wild beasts are ex-
hibited from the monkey to the ele-
phant.
Then there are the beautiful high
school ponies, group of zebras from
far off Africa, an animal rarely seen
in captivity in this country, men and
women trainers in the cages with
the animals grouped around them as
though they were so many house
pets. And the funny clowns. A
show would not be complete without
this feature.
Again to quote the Medford Trib-
une, children receive a most in
structive lesson in natural history
and the elders are given an illustra-
ton what kindness and patience can
accomplish with the most savage and
blood-thirsty beasts"
There will be two performances at
2 o'clock and 500.
