lU(AGERE FEATURE
aAa9CBECK-WAIL CIRCUS
PERFORMANCE COMPOSED OF
400 ARTISTS

One Of the things in which the Hag-
enbeckWallace Circus has always ex-
celled is in its menagerie. Hagenbeck
was the first person who ever succeed
ed in breaking and subduing wild ami
zaaiS for public performance. He
startled the capitals of Europe half a
century ago with his intelligent, yet
MARKETING beasts. At each world g
far that has been held in the United
States in the past forty years the Hagg-
enbec4 wild animals have always fur
nidhed the stellar attraction.
Do much interest was arounsed at the
st. Louis World 3 fair in 1904 that the
Hagenbeck shows were combined with
the great Wallace Circus. At first the
idea looked impossible, because OF their
size. Hach show had already reached
q state that required the efforts of only
the most skilled circus officials to han
die. The greatest problem was the one
involved in the transportation. A train,
one mile in length, was built and divld-
ed into three sections. In this way the
obstacle of moving the great institution
from city to city was solved.
Yet, each year since the consollda-
ton Of the shows the Hagenbeck- w al
lace Circus has grown. The Hagenbeck
farm, in French Lick Springs, Indiana,
is the world 8 biggest animal headquar-
ters. As fast as rare and costly spec1-
anens are captured by the Hagenbeck
huntaRs,s scattered throughout the word,
theJ are sent to the Hagenbeck- W. al
lace 6runs.
1ut taze Hagenbeek animals form only
one department Of the combined shows.
TAe aTunt Wallace Circus still excels as
the "Highest class Circus in the
World The performance is given in
three rings and two elevated stages

cent almost every country on the
