swelling the American Red Cross re.
lief fund. These benefit performances

that every dollar of profit is to be

First announcement of this society
circus" was made today by the nationa
headquarters of the American Red
Cross. after the project had received
the hearty Endorsement of the District
of Columbia chapter officers. The 'bie
show" is to be really three-ring in
door circus. with seventeen feature
acts. including trapeze and ladder
ring and coasting. wire, juggling, bal
ancing and aerial feats of all sorts
while eight clever clowns keep the big
throng laughing.
The public should not be deceived
into believing that the society circus
are to do stunts" for sweet charity's
sake. This is a professional talent
show. under professional management

ment of its kind ever shown indoors
in Washington. 1t is society cir
Gus" in that it is to be patronized by
leaders in Washington society. Twen-
ty-five young women today are making
house house visits in the fashion
able residence section, selling the

The Stellar Acts.
The two stellar acts are to be M.
Legare's sensational descent from his
spiral tower, and La Vann's aerial cast
ing act, the aerial artists having a
drop of seventy-five feet from the
rafters in which to do their feats OF
trapeze and ring work.

morning and said if he could obtain
permission from Elliott Woods, super
intendent of the Capitol building and
grounds, he would like to do part of
his act on the Capitol dome to give
the people Of Washington a free exhi-
bition. The La Vanns expect to reach
here tomorrow.
The monster floor space of Conven-
ton Hall has been arranged with a
vast amphitheater of 5000 seats SO that
every one will have an unobstructed
view of the three rings. The pit has
three stages, in lieu of rings, and on
vided into seven sets and playing for
more than two hours. The program is
SO arranged that the performances on
the end stages will be varied.
The atmosphere of a real circus will
be lent to the production by the pres
ence of balloon men, takers. peanut
venders, and all else that makes the
circus a circus and nothing else. with
the foul atmosphere under tent and
the smell of sawdust done away with.

uniform will sell Red Cross flags at
each performance, as it has been plan
ned to have their flag sale next week
