Crowd Is Striking Indication
That Prosperity Is on
Way Back.

Happy Days Are Here again" to-
day became the theme song of the
Hagenbeck-W Wallace circus, as the
dark clouds of depression rolled
away and revealed a vision of the
much-heralded prosperity, no longer
lust around the corner"
Telegraph wires hummed all night
carrying rush orders for more tent
and seat sections and other equip
ment. Officials are seeking TO pre-
vent a repetition of Thursday
nights jam here, when the huge
canvas bulged with a struggling
mass of humanity seeking to find
room to sit outside of the perform
ing rings. The circus had a one
day stand at the old West Washing
ton street ball park.
Disappointed Over GrumbIe
What those inside the tent
thought was the roll of thunder, in
reality was the grumbling of
mighty throng of disappointed cir
Gus fans. They could not crowd
into the circus tent and money had
to be refunded to many, a course
unprecedented in circus annals here.
Long before time for the perform
ance to start all seats had been
filled, and spectators were milling
throughonut the entire arena, many
even being forced to stand in the
performing rings.
BY herculean effort, perspiring
but happy circus employees managed
TO seat thousands of persons on
straw on the ground of the arena.
leaving barely enough room on one
side for performers gingerly to pick
their way along until they could
reach the rings.
Parade Is Curtailed
The opening parade had to be
dispensed with, except for perform
ers in the opening spectacle, Cleo
patra, Queen of Egypt who were
forced to enter in single file to pre-
vent walking on outstretched arms
and legs of crowded but delighted
spectators.
Circus vendors of peanuts, pop
and other circus knick- knacks did
thriving business.
IT'S been like this ever since we
started out, but this crowd beats
them all, one vendor said. Wasn't
the depression awful?'
