BARNUM & BAILEY TO COME
Will Give Two Performances Here
With Newly Added Spectacle.

Final arrangements have just been
completed for the visit to Moline of
the Barnum and Bailey greatest show
on earth. The date is July 81. Two
performances will be given. They will
be the same in every particular as
those presented in Madison Square
garden, New York City, where this cir
Gus opened its season last March.
Added glory attaches TO this show
because of its new equipment, which
cost the management of S3,500,000. It's
new parade is described as a marvel
of pageantry. Its enlarged menagerie
is the center of interest, and the COM
pany of 400 world-famous artists pre-
senting the program have brought 100
surprises from Europe.
The performance begins this year
with a newly added spectacle of Gle
opatra," mounted On the biggest stage
ever built and with a cast of 1850
characters, ballet of $50 dancing
girls. grand opera chorus of 300
voices, an orchestra of 100 soloists, G50
horses, five herds of elephants, cara
vans of camels, and train load of
special scenery, properties and me
chanical devices for producing such eff
fects as thunder, lightning, floods,
sand storms on the desert, earthquakes
and topping walls, mirages and vol
canoes in action. The story is gTa-
phically and thrillingly told.
This circus is over 30 years old 1t
was founded by p. T. Barnum. the
father of modern advertising and big
circus ideas. Barnum was born 100
years ago. He was over a century
ahead of his time. II was his bril-
liant mind that made the modern cir
Gus possible. He found the circus a
disorganized institution, operated with
out system, intelligence and not a
great deal of integrity. He ! Jed it
up into the fine arts. He established
it on the same systematic standards
that make railroads d success. When
he died his only successors were
James a. Bailey and his immediate
staff OF associates, then young men,
who were able 10 perpetuate his won
derful policy because of long school
ing under him.
Bailey has been described as the
greatest Snowman Of his day. He grew
TO be another Barnum. Under his
management the worlds greatest cir
Gus became even greater. No other
circus in the world ever dared TO at
tempt the gigantic projects that this
genius carried through to success. He
took the great show to Europe and
Asia. He visited every city of promi-
hence In the old world. Like a rolling

VISTAS OF THE ORIENT
Far East Scenes and Incidents to Be
Presented With Buffalo Bill.

Presented with BuffalO Bill.
The combination of Buffalo Bills
Wild West and Pawnee Bills Far East
marks an era in out-of-door entertain
ment; a melange of contrasts more
sented to public view. Pictures of
western life will be shown in contrast
to vistas Of the far east and an orien-
tai spectacle will recall the sands of
Sahara in the same arena where Indian
battles and western scenes are also
depicted. The far east element will
introduce many tribes and people from
across the sea-Japanese cavalrymen,
soldiery and athletic experts, jugglers
and necromancers, Arabian acrobats,
Hindoo fakirs, the whirling dervish,
and men Of many chimes. Jungle-bred
elephants will be seen. The desert
sands will be recalled, the pyramids
and sphinx will loom in the distance,
and a scene typical of the far east will
be realistically represented in a NOV
ing pageant of brilliant costume and
Coloring The whole scene will be red
olent of the orient, that land of ro-
nance and balmy atmosphere, with its
strange people and ancient customs. In
verify the orient will be translated to
the occident and men of two sides of
the globe will be on view in scenes and
incidents typical of many lands and
nations. 1t is only through the compre-
hensive character of the Buffalo Bill
and Pawnee Bill exhibition that these
contrasts and comparisons can be at
tanned. The exhibition comes to Rock
