MILLMAN-HENRY SHOW
ATTRACTS GOOD CROWD
Just Like Real Circus Even to Lem
monade Stand. Menagerie a
Place of Startling Wonder

The Millman-Henry Great Consoli-
dated Shows played to a good crowd
in this city Monday afternoon. True
to the advertisement, the big top
was set in the rear of the Rev. Henry
home, on West Third street, where
big crowd of youngsters and a few
grownups, assembled at 2:30 o'clock
when the Grand Entrance was open.
Miss Henry, sister of one of the own
ers of the show, sold tickets. Nearby
a lemonade stand offered its wares.
Just off the main tent, was the men,
agerie which was thrilling exhib-
ition of World Wonders. There was
Runtie, the smallest soft shelled tur-
tie in captivity; Hard Boiled, hard
shelled turtle who is said to have
been born 1000 B. c; Squeekie, and
her twins, native chipmunks, were
apparently happy for they eat of
grain kerrels unmindful of the star
ing crowds; the mammouth snake
which had been a member of this
exhibit left the show unannounced the
day before, which the management
deeply regretted.
Inside the big top, one was con-
fronted with bars, rings, and other
sawdust-ring pharaphanelia, and
when Robert Millman appeared as
Ringmaster in the costume of the
white suit, stiff hat and ever present
whip, the setting was complete. One
did not miss the music; for funny
clowns gave witty jokes and did side
splitting stunts that kept the audience
in an uproar. Mr.. Vivian Henry,
proved to be a talented performer;
Jack Craig and Edmond Jones were
clowns supreme; Victor Millman GER
tainly did we'll in his death leaps
from the swings and slack wire walk
ing feats. The Man Eating Dog, the
feature of the show was presented by
Jack Craig eating sausage. The show
was worth the money. And like all
amusments of the kind, an after show
was held in the nature of a wrestling
match for which an extra ticket was
necessary.
All the actors were artists and
I if the press agent has not men,
toned all, it has not been intentional.
The expenses by the way were sal
aries to the performers (10c each)
ice and other small items.
Perhaps this Millman-Henry Show
is the beginning of another P. T. Bar
mum. Who knows?
Barnum started with less.
The managers wished it stated that
after expenses were paid the pro-
reeds were given to the church.
