CIRCUS RIV AIS
ALADDIN'S GENIE
-Barnum & Bailey to Present the Chi
nese Fairy Story as Opening
Feature Of Big Show.
MORE GORGEOUS THAN EVER

Aladdin in all his glory could not have
been more Respondent in his attire and
surroundings than what is promised in
costuming and setting Of the new Barnum
& Bailey circus pageant, aladdin and
His. Wonderful Lamp which will be
seen here Tuesday, July "a,
The genie Of the lamp has been out
done by big circus enterprise and re-
sourcefulness, according to all advance
reports of the effects of the new Chinese
feature which will precede the big pro
gram Of circus novelties. Costumes Of
silk, satin and brocades, fashioned by
Chinese workers in their native land and
trimmed with handmade embroideries
worthy of the attention Of the most
fastidious connoisseurs, make gorgeous
the procession of more than 1000 men,
women and children and 500 animals. !
The big scene of the new pageant
pictures the wedding of Aladdin and the
Princess Hadroulboudour. The cere-
mony is enacted in a setting of beauty
and magnitude which occupies and ex-
tends beyond the centre ring, where it
can be seen from every seat under the
big top. The entire pageant is series
Of living pictures representing tie i'm
portant events in the life of the Chinese
lad who gained possession of the magic
lamp, and thru the service of the genie
who was slave of the lamp, woed and
won the proudest princess of the fowery
kingdom.
The story of Aladdin undoubtedly is
the best known OF all the tales of the
Arabian Nights and probably it is
because of the magnitude of it's possibili-
ties in spectacular effects that it has been
left for the circus to re-create the scenes
in the everything fairy tale. No ade-
quate conceptions of the supernatural
achievements of the genie could be given
without the space under the big top, and
the numbers of persons and animals
ordinary to the big CIRCUS.
1t is promised that, altho Aladdin is d
more ambitious production than any thing
before attempted in circus pageaatry, 1t
will not interfere in the least with the
numbers and quality Of the program Of
novelties which will be continuous ia, all
parts of the big canvas enclosure for two
hours after the pageant company has
Disappeared High in tbs riggings5cf
the tent, meaa and women will swing On
high trapezes and ether garaphernalia
of aerial gymnastics, while ia three rings
and four stages Will be exhibited many
novelties possible only to the circus.
