TWO COMPLETE
PERFORMANCES
10 Be Given Here By Sun
Brothers Shows Thursday,
September II.

You very often hear the remark
that all tented shows are alike, " and
when you see one, you see 'em all. "
This is an erroneous idea, when ap-
piled to the present time, latter-day
tented institution. Conditions of
times have changed allaround. Where
formerly, the old-time show, present
ed a company, of say ten or fifteen
performers, the show of today gives
a programme Of displays, that are ex-
plotted by a hundred or more per-
formers. Everything else pertaining
to the show of today, has radically
improved. The tents are larger and
better ventilated. They are now so
constructed, that they are absolutely
rainproof, so in case of wet or stormy
weather, the entire show can be Civ
en- with comfort and ease to perform
er and patron alike, thus causing no
curtallment whatever. The mode of
transportation has also improved. The
railway rolling stock being such, that
all shows can make hundred mile
run, during the night and reach their
objective point as early as a. m,
and have everything on the show
grounds in ample time to start the
ceremonies of the day, as early as
ten O'Clock a. m.
The present day shows are all con-
Quoted on a strictly business basis,
just the same, as some mercantile
business. The elimination of all OBJ
noXious features. Strict adherence of
the utmost courtesy to patrons by the
attaches and employees. Respectable
ity and refinement in the presentation
OF all attractions. Allof these methods
are in vogue with the Sun Brothers
Worlds Progressive Shows, that are
underlined TO exhibit at Hopkinsville,
on Sept. q. This show is practically
all new for the present tour. All new
acts and performers. A coterie of
many added novelties inthe trained
animal line. A bunch of the finest
horses ever seen with tented show.
Two complete performances will be
given here, matinee and night.
