& Bailey Combined Circus, on its
Ringing Brothers Golden Jubilee
tour, will positively exhibit in VIII
mington, Del, June 2, and golden
opportunity will be afforded the
residents of this vast territory to
see one of the wonders of the world
the renowned royal Padaung gi-
raffe-neck Women from Burma, the
most sensational importation ever
achieved by even The Greatest Show

human oddities are not freaks; they
are proud members of a proud race,
set apart from the teeming hordes
of Far East Burma by their high
station as rulers and by the visual
sign of that exalted rank-their cop
per encircled necks, stretched to un-
believable lengths by rings super
imposed constantly from birth to
maturity. Since the Ringling Bros.
and Barnum & Bailey Combined

them-and they appear in the main
performance-hun of thousands
OF people will have gazed upon them
in awe before the gala Golden Jubi-
lee tour is ended.
Outstanding among the Jubilee
features is the mighty spectacle,
The Durbar, gorgeous, dazzling, be-

their royal elephants and huge
oriental retinues parade for the
pleasure of the newly crowned ruler
of Great Britain and India their vast
wealth as symbolized by gem-stud-,
ed trappings on elephants and
horses, by their native forces and
lavishly garbed households. Over
1000 people and animals take part
in The Durbar, and its background
is opulent and bizarre with import
ed Hindo temples, tongas, carved
gold cars and royal howdahs. The
Durbar is the proud achievement of
the Ringing Bros. and Barnum &
Bailey Combined Circus on its Col

deep pleasure for a lifetime.
