master and mistress of wardrobe,
master of properties and trappings,
the stage director. and a number of

While the director general is per-

Charles Ringing. He is particularly
partial to horses. Bring on more
horses. we want more horses" he will
call, as the work goes on. And since
the Ringing Brothers travel more
than zoo splendid animals he does not
call in vain. 1t is the great number
of beautiful thoroughbreds with their
gorgeous trappings that make the In
DAYS of Old professionals so remark
able. The pageants and the eNtraordi-
nary ballets are probably the most un-
usual features of the mammoth pro-
duction. Not one person is ever re-
cruited locally for the spectacle cast.
All the thousand and more characters
appearing in "In Days of Old" are car
ried with the circus. That is one of
the reasons why Ringing Brothers
are this season travelling more cars
than ever before, the total numbering
eighty-nine.
