GAINESVILLE CIRCUS
One of the spectacular and impos-
ing features of the Fannin County
Fair this year will be the presenta-
tion of the internationally famous
Gainesville Community Circus. Per-
formances will be given the last 3
nights, Sept. 28, 29, and 30.
Because of the great .demand for
the services of this unique entertain-
ment organization, now its fourth
season, local fair officials wisely
contracted for the enterprise months
ago, and are bringing the attraction
here at; great expense.
The circus this year is much larger
than in previous seasons, and the
performance is now presented in* four
rings, in a big top seating 3,000
people and covering 24,000 square
feet of space.
The outstanding presentationn of
the circus this year is “Egpyt”, a
tremendous and gorgeously arrayed
super-spectacle of the 'Soudan. This
dazzling, glamorous pageantry em-
ployes the entire personnel of 150
human performers and scores of
animal actors, who are weighed down
witlh beautiful costumes, sparkling
with rhinestones, brilliants) and
spanglesi, representing queens,
princess, soldiers, servants* and
dancing girls from the River Nile.
Among the entirely new and 'out-
standing acts* this year are the iSt-ani-
forths, a troup of 12 personable men
and women who present astounding
exhibitions of skill and daring in a
somersaulting acrobatic display and
on the horizontal bars; two striking
tight wire troups, the Tom Wilking-
forths, two men and two women and
the Jerrivern Duo; William Ritchie,
physical culture exponent, present-
ing a physical endurance test on the
flying trapeze; and scores' of new
aerial, animal and acrobatic numbers'.
There are man yperformers who
scored big hits last year who are to
be seen this season in new and novel
routines. Jimmie Scruggs, the
younget bareback rider in the world
is a member of the Riding Keels ag-
gregation. The Jerry Murrell troup
of riders is back, featuring Charles
Brewer, royal jester of the riding
fraternity . Then there are Evelyn
Welborn, ‘hurtling comet of the flying
trapeze; Jack Dun-man, the only
athlete to perform the forward
muscle on the horizontal bars; the
aerial bars; the aerial ballet of a
dozen beautiful girls; J. I. and Cecil
Farr, exponents of the 'Spanish web;
Culp and Wilson, adagio artfeus Mar-
garet Talley, aerial gymnast; the
King Sisters, 'the Murphy sisters and
the Haney sisters diminutive acrobats'
Murrell’s military horse,?'; P-ogo the
only high wire walking German police
dog; Madame 'Pauline McArdle, prima
donna of the circus world; Joe B.
Pettit’s troup of 41 clowns, and
scores of other attraction's running
the gamut of circus thrills.
The circus this year has its own
commissary department, dining tent,
horse tents, dressing tent and pad-
room, occupying twice the space re-
quired last year. The personnel has
been increased, costumes and trap-
pings are more elaborate, 1,000 ad-
ditional sea'.fa have been added to the
physical equipment, and 45 automo-
biles and trucks are required to
transport the performers', attaches,
and livestock; and paraphernalia.
The circus made a triumphant tour
this Spring, playing to the largest
crowds in* its history in Memorial
Stadium at Austin under American
Legi-cn auspices, and scoring big 'suc-
cess in Gainesville and Denison and
other cities.
The circus plays the Ardmore,
Oklahoma, IFair, Sept. 13, 14, and 15.

made from bue-liu, juniper oil, etc.,
works effectively on the bladder -as
