giant menagerie, dozens of rare
wild beasts which are to be seen
in the mammoth menagerie of the
G. r. Montgomery Wild Animal Cir
Gus. The circus menagerie, which
is opened a full hour before the
regular performance, gives young
sters a chance to observe a variety
of wild animals at C lose range,
Babylon said to be the largest ele-
plant on exhibition in America is
always a delighted source of amaze
ment to the kiddies, while in the
clever tricks of pert little ponies,
dogs and monkeys, and even mules,
they can picture their own animal
pets. Nor let the clowns be over
looked. Children are as fond of
these chalk-faced, red-nosed, big
footed merry makers as they are
of their favorite comic strip char
acters.
Snookie, largest ape-man alive,
is just one of the many monkey
fellows to be seen with the great
c. R. Montgomery Wild Animal Cir
Gus.
The gentlemanly advance agent of
the circus, incidentally one of the
old school, VouchSafed the informa-
ton that many well known circus
stars and celebrities make up this
circus cavalcade all of whom
present the nearly two hour pro-
gram with the speed of a whirl-
wind.
There will of course, be the usual
array of lovely ladies in the pink
costumes high aloft in the dome of
the huge tent, those who are sus-
pended only by their teeth and
those who defy death on the flying
trapeze, and there will be those
strange foreign gentlemen who walk
a tight wire, seeming as easily as
one traverses the city streets.
Two complete performances will
be given at 2 and P. M. Doors
open at l and z so that ample time
may be had to leisurely inspect the
menaPerie.
