JOHN ROBINSON'S CIRCUS
WILL BE HERE IN TWO WEEKS
An Old-Fashioned Show Where One
Can See Everything.

81 hate to see a circus with so
many rings and acts. In big show
there is so much to look at that one
keeps bobbing ones head all over the
big tent, with the result that one does
not see a tenth of the performance.
l should rather attend an Old-fash-
toned, one-ring circus, where l can
see everything.
In all parts of the country the
above sentiment is oftentimes ex-
pressed when a big circus is billed to
appear. This is true, where the man
agement of big show mixes all sorts
of acts togther in crazy connection.
But John Robinson's Ten Big Shows,
which will exhibit in Dawson Thurs
day, November 23rd, afternoon and
evening, although one of Americas
largest amusement institutions, offer
no ground for such complaint. The
experienced management of the great
John Robinson's Ten Big Shows long
since remedied this evil.
