CIRCUS GOES OUT
TO WALTER REED

The bedridden inmates OF the Wal
ter Reed Memorial Hospital were
made happy today when thirty mem
bers OF the John Robinson circus, now
showing at the Fifteenth and II
streets grounds. went out to the hos
pitfalls in automobiles and gave
splendid program of acts especially
for the soldiers beneht.
At the opening performance Mon
day afternoon the circus management
and reserved for them a special sec
ton of seats directly opposite the
middle ring. Fifteen autos conveyed
the party to the grounds.
The boys keenly enjoyed the circus,
with it's sawdust smell; the clowns,
who put on extra acts for their edi-
fication: the pretty girls In spangles
on the high trapezes and slack wires;
the prancing horses and fair eaues-
triennes. But many inmates OF the
hospital, confined to their beds, were
unable to be there. When this was
explained to the circus management
the decision was ,auick; IL the boys
could not go to the circus, the circus
would come to them.
This morning at 10 o'clock the per-
formers, clowns, trained ponies and
bucking mule, all in makeup and cir
Gus regalia, left the show grounds
early and went TO the hospital, where
Equestrian Director Fred Ledgett had
arranged a special program.
Harry b. Stafford. who Is incharge
OF the amusement committee at the
hospital, thanked the management
heartily for bringing laughter and
sunshine into the lives of the boys. It
made the show folk happy also, and
many tear OF happiness was seen
coursing down the whitened faces OF
the clowns, when the shouts of glee
reached their ears. For circus people
are only human and they appreciate
the riRors and hardships the Yanks
went through for them "over there"
Another delegation from the hos
pltal will attend the closing perform
ance Of the circus tonight.
