$50 PEOPLE

Heth's United Shows will arrive
Sunday on the North Western about
II o'clock AMI will begin Monday,
July y.
Now, Heth has a splendid line OF
amusements-a big organization OF
about $50 people and travel in their
own special train carrying their own
equipment OF 25 cars. This company
is endorsed by the best people OF
every community visited and no or
ganization entour carries more or
better endorsement from the press,
city officials and societies than does
Mr.. Heth. He claims his show TO be
the foremost and dominant over all
other carnival organizations as. to
cleanness and business methods en-
ployed in its conduct.
The Heth United Shows take great
pride in calling attention 10 one or
the feature attractions known as the
MAMIE show, a clean and refined
musical comedy attraction. This
company is under the personal man
agement OF Billy Williams, the dean
OF the muscal comedy shows, the
carnival world and who is Familiarity
and affectionately known as billy
by his hundreds OF friends through
out the show world. Special atten-
ton is called to the equipment OF this
attraction. We believe that 1t is the
most complete show OF its kind ever
presented under canvas-with It's
special scenery and electrical effects,
besides the cushion back opera chairs,
furnished for the comfort OF the pat
rons. The costumes worn by the
artists are the most elaborate ever
used with a tent show, being design
ed and furnished by Redfern OF Paris
and New York, makes II nothing
more nor less than fashion show,
the very latest styles being worn. lt
is these features combined with many
others that makes this attraction es-
pecially attractive TO her royal high
ness. the American lady.

Days of 40

Under the personal direction OF
Bruce Darling. this typical western
attraction Is presented by real west
ern people. Days OF 40" Is one at
traction that cannot be initiated or
duplicated correctly, for IL is indeed
an ratist who can correctly imper-
senate true western character. The
'49 camp OF course has its dance hall
with its western beauties, besides
the rope and whip manipulators and
other forms OF skill shown by the
cowboys and Mexican cattlement.
Red" Pete, the well known for
mer outlaw, makes this his headquar-
ters. This attraction IL really his
idea, and the way the idea was con-
ceived, we quote him as follows:
Some two years ago, while laying
out in the bushes in Deerfoot county

hiding from my friends, the sheriff
and railroad detectives, the longing
for human companionship turned my

justice. The company consists of
five men and three ladies and Il is
not only the largest troupe OF Ha-
waiians that ever tourned America

superior to any other company Of

remember, Pete earned his freedom
and he, like many other bad men
gave up the life OF crime and vice 10

Early this spring at the winter
quarters OF the Heth United Shows
where l had been employed by Mr..
Heth, who knew my story, the thought
OF that night when l wished for Tex
as May and the CattaiI as / lay In
the bush, the idea occurred TO me
that there must be many former
western people who would appre-
ciate seeing duplicate OF their fav-
orite dance hall again in all its nat
ural surroundings.
Mr.. Louis j. Heth. always on the
alert for attractions of merit, saw
the possibilities I'm Pete's idea. Pete
was sent west into the very heart OF
the bad lands and returned with his
pretty COW girls, his Mexican bull
fighters and the American cowboys.
The fact that inside Of two weeks af-
ter this show was first presented in
East st. Louis, several other carni-
val companies had attractions which
they call days of 40" This proved
beyond shadow OF doubt that Ye
Old day OF 40 would be an attraction
that would meet with the approval
of the American people.
