agility of the acrobats and the won
der of the trained ponies, dogs and
monkeys are encompassed in this
clean and laugh-provoking entertain
ment.
For seven consecutive years, Marce-
line. the famous clown, made mil
lions of people laugh during his en-
gagement at the New York Hippo
drome, and previous to his engagement
in America he was equally famous
during his Phenomenal run Of five
years at the London Hippodrome.
The story Of his offering Is along
the line of a musical comedy plot.
The theme is not tiresome but one
continuous laugh. The stage is so
arranged that if one were to take a
huge knife and cut a tent in half
and place 1t on the stage with the
audience and the ring and all the
paraphernalia pertaining to a gigan-
tic circus. with an audience facing
ard audience, one can then picture
tho opening set Of the Hipodrome
Circus Company.
With Marceline in the company will
be seen: Frauline Seabert, the worlds
youngest equestrienne; Lawrence and
Brnnelle, in their unique black-face
act, entitled. Joining the Circus"
