R0BINSON'S SHOWS MAY
WINTER AT MIAMI

Miami, Jan. S.-John G.. Robinson,
son Of John F. Robinson, who Is at
the head Of the large menagerie
which formed part of the great
Robinson circus, Is looking for =
fsite in this city for the establish
ment of winter quarters for the
large number of animals which be-
long to him.
In connection with his plans Mr..
Robinson proposes to start a menag-
erie in Miami where his elephants,
lions and other animals may be made
use Of, and the prospects are that
he will establish permanent AMI
NAL rendezvous here.
y Mr.. Robinson leaves today for Gin
cinnati and other parts of the north
where the animals are located. The
show has been compelled to cancel
q long engagement In the North on
account of war conditions and the
taking bver the the railroads by
the government, and 1t will be nee
essary for Mr.. Robinson to find per.
nlanent quarters for his animals.
This same show was for several
years located In California where 1t
was used for producing pictures TO
be flashed on the movie screen, and
| IL a suitable place can be secured
in Miami Mr.. Robinson will prob
ably include this attraction.
About two years ago he proposed
coming to Miami for a permanent
animal quarters, but was obliged to
abandon that plan at the time be-
cause he failed to find a suitable
place.
Included in the collection are many
trained animals lof every descrip-
tion. Four of the large elephants
we're on the Cuban circuit last year
and stopped off In this city on their
way TO the island. These same ele-
plants will be brought to Miami II
quarters can be secured, along with
several lions. panthers, zebras.
camels, tigers and other fine speci.
mems which furnished an abundance
OF attraction on the moving picture
circuit for several years.
Since Mr.. Robinson, his father
and uncle, who for years operated
the famous John Robinson circus,
have become regular winter resi-
dents of Miami, 1t is highly probable
that they will move the remnants OF
thir great show here for the win
ter months. In the event that they
do SO, 1t will probably induce other
circus managers to come here for
the winters, as Mr.. Robinson pro.
nounced this the greatest climate In
the world for the wintering of wild
animals.
Mr.. Robinson said yesterday thai
| he will return to Miami about Feb
, ruary l.
