CIRCUS HERE
ON JULY Z
AL. C. Barnes Three-Ring Wild
Animal Circus To Exhibit
in WdtertOWn.

"The Show That's Different" is a
term given by many prominent critics
to the AL G. Barnes Bring Wild Ami
nal circus Just why this show is
different can be understood when it
is known that the program presented
completely upsets the conventional in
circusdom for the reason that the en-
tire entertainment is given by edu-
Gated wild and domestic animals.
Over six hundred of these animal
actors are comprised in the Barnes
troupe, the animals do everything
that the human circus performer has
been doing. Juggling, balancing,
high jumping and diving, acrobatics,
posing, dances, drills, ball playing,
bare back riding, tumbling, ETC., are
a part of the things they do. Their
proficiency is a remarkable sight to
witness The Barnes circus also
bears the distinction of being the
original and largest wild animal show
in the world. The cleanliness and
moral tenor of its entertainment and
business conduct likewise add to the
reasons of why the show is differ
ent"
Unusual indeed are the big animal
acts Tom, Jerry and Brutus, horse
riding African lions are very re
markable example of wild animal
training Sampson, the aviation lion,
rides to the top of the tent surrounded
by shooting sky rockets. A large
group of seals and sea lions do
marvellous feats of Juggling and bare
back riding Mile Florine, a spritely
young woman presents a groupe of
ferocious leopards jaguars, and
pumas. Miss Mabel Stark appears
with a troupe of man-eating Royal
Bengal and Siberian tigers. Big Bill,
the wrestling Grizzly is another SEN
sation, also the large groupe of per
forming bears.
The twenty-four, jungle-bred, full
grown African lions shown in one act
by Herr Louie Roth comprise the
greatest and most thrilling wild ami
NAL spectacle ever knokn. Herr.
Roth enters the arena alone with
these great beasts and makes each
one perform. The lions are first
grouped into pyramids, then into
piles on the floor, the daring trainer
lying on the top-most one. His head
is placed on the inside of snarling
beasts mouth; another eats raw meat
held in the lips of the trainer. The
daring Of the fellow Is thrilling to "a
extreme.
The Barnes challenge horses and
ponies-five hundred and fifty OF
them-beautiful, all educated to per
form, present in their work of the
very great sights of modern time en-
tertainment. Elephants, camels, ze
bras, hyenas, dogs, goats, monkeys
etc, are prominently shown.
There are many laughing spots
throughout the program, provided by
twelve rib-t tickling clowns and fifty
comedy mules, monkeys, bears, po
nies, dogs and a large herd of ele
plants.
The new, glittering mllelong
four-band street parade is presented
to the public at 10:30. Two per
formances will be given here.
