The Ringlings are exploiting any
number of new European performers
this season, and with the added spec
tacle of Joan of Arc. with its cast Of
1900 characters, their circus pre-
Torrance contains more of novelty
and spectacular interest than ever be-
fore in its history. Their managerie
is stocked anew with objects strange
to American ZOOS; the parade of the
forenoon is the finest and lengthiest
they have ever presented. The per-
formances that are to be given here
ar to be exactly the same as those
presented in Chicago. where in April
the season was opened with brilliant
success.
Beneath the fourteen acres Of water
proof canvas there Is more to marvel
at than can be seen with all other
American circuaes combined. The
entire equipment is new and greatly
elaborated in the way Of comfort and
convenience over past seasons. The
main tent, the largest audience room
in the world, has comfortable chairs
