SKOWHEGAN'S CIRCUS DAY
Sig SautelIe's Big Show Here Thurs
day, June

Sig Sautelle, who has been in the
Circus business for a generation will
bring his show to Skowhegan this
year and Somerset County people are
sure of a fine entertainment. The
Utica IN. " Daily Press of May 6,
says in part:
And let it be said for the Sig. Sau-
telle shows that they fulfill their adj
vertising promises. Their exhibit is
neat, clean, free from Objectionable
features and in every way up-to-date.
Their equestrian performers are per-
haps as good If not in some cases
better than those in the many ringed
shows of greater acreage and fame A
feature not to be overlooked Is the
Wild West act in charge of Nebraska
Bill, and Prairie Lilly, two stars on
the back of broncho or in difficult
feats with gun and lariat
The youngsters enjoyed the trained
elephant act, while for the bigger
folks the Eight Lowandes' coaching
number was one OF the best bets on
the program. This is in charge of
Oscal Lowande, widely known eques-
trian and part owner of the big
show. Not forgetting the Aerial
Fausts, only people of their kind with
the circus, who do very clever ira
peze act; the Silverlakes, riding
Ledgetts, Equestriennes Dolly Julian,
Mrs. Dan Ryan, whose husband is a
very funny clown; Miss Louise Can
non. Nellie Bradley, and the very clev-
er equestrian, Jack Correa.
With these rank Lew Nichols, the
boss clown; Harry LeDux, mule
rider; Hale & Ward, in a Glowing
act; John Haggerty, the La Belle
troupe of wire performers and Frank
st. John, who does the outside diving.
The performances of these people are
snappy and the show goes along at a
| good clip. Yesterday the bareback
| riders were somewhat hampered by
the uneven condition Of the circus
rings, but their work was most cred
| table. A good side show travels with
the circus and all attendants of the
| big affair are uniformly courteous and
willing to direct the stranger to that
portion of the tents where the most
joys can be found. If Sig Sautelle s
circus grows as much before its next
appearance in Utica as 1t has since
its last big time" will be the only
appellation for 1t.
