then across the Andes mountains into

SIDE LIGHTS on the
CIRCUS BUSINESS

The following letter has been re-
ceived from the Shipp & Feltus show,
which is touring South America and
has been for the past two years. Shipp
and Feltus are old friends of mine,
with whom | trOuped back in the SOS,
and it is therefore more than inter
esting to me and it may be to the
reader. Mrs Ed. Ship was Julia
Lowanda, and her first appearance as
a bareback rider was with the Adam
Forepaugh show in the early SOS. At
that time Julia travelled with her
mother, and in fact did up to the time
she married Ed Ship, which was
along in the early 9O's. Mrs. Ships
last appearance in GAINESVILLE was
with the Ringing show some six or
seven years ago, and at that time
their only daughter, some 10 years OF
age, had just graduated and was trav-
cling with them on a short vacation.

Buenos Aires. In this wonderful city
of over three and a half million peo-
pie, Shipp&Fe1tus have scored de-
cided success. The big, new Hippo
drome at Corrientes and Pellegr1nl, IN
the heart of the business center, was
built especially for circus use, and It's
completion was hurried along in or
der that it might be dedicated by this
| North American organization, which
has so firmly established itself in all
Latin America.
| According to clippings at hand the
opening in Buenos Aires was an inno-
walton. "The reception given the
company" says the Buenos Aires
I Herald, was indeed fattering, both
! to artists and management The big
crowds went away fully satisfied, plac-
ing their stamp Of approval on Shlpp
& FeItus' circus in a manner that Will
make everybody in town want to go.
! The Standard was even louder in
it's praise, saying: "The evening per-
Torrance of the Shipp & Feltus big
North American circus at the Hippo
drome last night was, to say it short,
q revelation The large audience
while expecting something extra, was
more than surprised at the magnificent
turnout. It is far and away the best
circus performance ever seen in
BuenOs Aires"
If all plans carry, the present tour
will last nearly another year and
half, bringing them home to the
United States in the spring Of 1919,
and thereby concluding what will
probably be the longest consecutive
tour ever made by the North Ameri-
can Circus company.
