PAGE 8. BIG CROWD SEES FIRST CIRCUS OF 19191N CAPITAL Al G. Barnes’ Wild Animal Show Retains Its Popularity With the Masses FINE PARADE AT NOON, ' The great American national amuse- ment—the cireus—has arrived, In all its awe inspiring ponderc Ss, kaleidoscopic radiance, and its spirited revelation, it appears again, and old and young flock from miles around to see presented its multitudinous at tions. Its thrilling music, the crowds, the animals, the sights, sounds and smell, appeal to the sen im varying allurements until the circus has been termed the “greatest social magnet of modern times.” We have with us today A. G. Barnes wild animal circus, the only exhibition of its kind in existence. Searcely. had dawn made its first appearance before the long brilliantly colored cars, bearing the — glittering paraphernalia of the “mammoth expo- sition,” reached the railroad yards of this city. But early as was the hour there was present the usual onlookers with ages varying from 1 to 100, As the hours progressed wagons bearing canvass, poles, stakes, and an- imals were hurried from the multicol- ored platforms and rushed to the show tield, where Within an incredibly short space of time, there grew a canvas city, thronging with people, inhabit- ants and visitors, Evidence that Al G. Barnes is ready to prove his advertised assertion that this season his wild animal circus is “bigger and better than ever before” was presented in ample form this after- noon when at 12:30 p. m. o'clock the S| royal jungle to come forth, -Fical jungle outtittings, fall strength of the company paraded } the business streets, The parade was nearly half an hour in passing a given | point, and every feature of it was good, ‘This sensou the show appears particu: larly ne and fresh in street attire and there appears to be no question ‘that the thousands who did-attend the tarnes circus today were not disap- peinted. Both parade and circus were well patronized, an opening feature a fairyland fant was presented, entitled “Ajiee in Wonderland.” Barnes has created a little fairy fantasy by taking little Alice from Wonderland and transport- ing her into ‘the realistic realms of jungleland, The arenie setting repre- sents a park in which is° a rustic Alice falls asleep upon this fairies appear, waving their hereupon a xing in regal s if by magic.’ He, Alice, orders his Then be- gins a pageant of wondrous beauty. | Queens, kings, rajahs, pashas, with i their royal equipage, clephants in typ- caravans of enamels, herds of zebras, droves of Jamas, hundreds of ponies and den upon den of wild beasis are in the proces- sion.

A performance of 110 different wild animals features follows, All ina +, Barnes has an ex- cellent show, Sach year new features fre added, new creatures and new sen- sations are given to the circus loving public. Barnes has gathered rare ani- mals from all parts of the earth, Asked the secret of his success in the cireus business, Barnes replies: ‘Hard work, honesty and giving the public its money's worth.” The Barnes show tonight starts at 8 o'clock.

That is as far as many people ever get along the road to saving and independence. On the other hand the people who decide to start a savings ac- count and then DO IT—are the people who are fairly started on the way to comfort in later years. The secret of the whole thing is in getting started. It only takes a dollar to start a savings account, After that it is a matter of stopping at the bank before you even open your pay envelope.

Since girls have gone in for profes- sional careers they sem to want to; outrival their brothers in the novelty of their professions. Women doctors,} lawyers, carpenters, engineers, etc., have been professions quickly adpot- ed. Now, a girl not bigger.than a “will- o’-the-wisp” and who would faint dead} away if jokingly placed upon a docile horse has taken up the art of teach-; ing wild elephants to trumpet. She} will fearlessly grasp the coarse leat 1- er trunk of one of these great beasts| and in a.short time will have it trumpeting at. command. Mamie Thornton is the girl in question and is a California girl. Three years ago she took up ele- phant training with Al G. Barnes wild animal circus, the show that op- ens here this afternoon and evening. She has gone in for all the inner knowledge and -queer -experiences that come to one in this work.

Revue... ane SOME OF THE BARNES CIRCUS’ FAMOUS MUSICAL FUN-MAKERS Mamie Thornton and one of her herd of verforming elephants who know about élephants know they do not trumpet in their wild state in the manner you hear them in circuses, Very few men who know all about elephants and spend their lives working with them want to tackle a tusker or teach it to trumpet for trifling with their trunks is a risky business and one Mr, Ele- phant greatly resents. Miss Thornton ‘works with a herd of elephants in Barnes’ circus and greatly enjoys being tossed about by the great, hunking:beasts. Her con- fidence and trust- in the monsters. is like that of a child with. their par- ents. ‘She: will willingly permit the monsters to wind their trunks around her body atid whisk her through the air at their pleasure. In one act’ given ‘by elephants un- der the tutelage of-Miss Thornton an entire war scene is enacted from the firing of cannons to the carrying of their wounded captain from ‘the bat- tlefield. mA Seer: BISMARCK DAILY TRIBUNS FRIDAY, JUNE 27, 1919. | : Bog.
