B[OODED
EQU|NES At
ORAK CIRCUS

The committee in charge OF the cir
up the list of attractions determined at
the outset that they would give the
visitors to Arak Temple which oepns its
engagement on December 31st, and will
continue until January the 7th. the
very best that circusdom could offer.
With this end in view their eyes turned
towards New York Hippodrome, which
is the acknowledged mecca for all that
is big and good in circus acts Nego-
tiations were entered into and the com
mittee were successful in closing the
contracts for the appearance of Madam
Bedini and her $4,000 troupe of edu-
Gated horses.

as a trainer of horses Is the leading
one, In that particular line # endeavcr,
and she will bring to Hammond for
the Orak Temple Circus the same act
that was produced by press and public
of New York City as the greatest act Of
its kind that has ever appeared at the
New York Hippodrome. This act alone
Is enough to guarantee the visitor Of a
real performance. but the committee
have not stopped at Madam Bedini. The
program will contain the names of such
artists as the Pierrots. a European
company of equilibrists, who are lead
ers in their line: the cycling humans
who are well known here as comedy
cyclists of repute. The OKura Jap
anese from the Imperial Tokyo Theatre
of Japan-they are tugglers. head and
feet balancers. ana present an act that
is out of the ordinary. Not content
with such stars as mentioned above,
the committee has secured the famous
Robinson elephants, whose performance
under the guiding hand of Miss Irene
Montgomery, is probably the best eie-
plant act in this country today.
The comedy part of the program has
not been overlooked. A company of
clowns. headed by the famous Panto-
mimic comedian Kenneth Waite. as
sures the visitor and the little ones
Of many a hearty laugh. Mr.. Waite
will introduce a number of fun devices
that have never been seen heretofore
in this part of the country. He comes
of the large circuses.
The circus taken in conjunction with
the auto show, style show. Mardi Bras
Carnival and Days Of 40 will make up
an entertainment that will surpass ev-
en- that seen in the largest cities.
There will be two performances daily
doors opening at 100 and 700 .. m.
and in addition to seeing the worlds
greatest show each visitor is entitled to
drawing whereby the lucky number
of an Essex car. an Overland and a
Ford as these cars will be given away
during the engagement. The members
of orak Temple are busy selling tickets
and judging from the present sale. the
event is an assured success.
