THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, MONDAY, JULY 12, 1937 UP SHOW EN ROUTE TO BISMARCK STAND Goodman Exposition Finally Ar- rives for Week's Stay at Show Grounds Several tenderfeet that now North Dakota for the first time were @ bit nervous Sunday night when the Goodman Wonder Show train, bound for Bismarck for a week’s visit, ran into a cloudburst north of the city. The deluge, only a flank of which sailed over Bismarck, forced streams from their banks and delayed the show train nearly two hours. How- ever, shortly after 11 p. m. 350 hungry show folk arrived and made straight for eating emporiums. The show, which,comes under the auspices of the Bismarck serie, Fra- ternal Order of Eagles, is on 22 cars. Monday morning shortly after day- light the amusement city was -un- loaded and sent on the run to Broad- way and Twentieth St., where it made Itself at home during the day. This evening many of the attractions will be seen in a parade staged by the Eagles. The Goodman Wonder Show is all new this year, having been built from tails to roof since Jan. 1.

Outstanding features are three girly-girly shows, two of Ripley's Believe It or Not characters, and last, but not least, the headless woman, something that amazed all Europe and arrived here only recently to join the Goodman show. The formal opening of the engage- ment is late this afternoon when all the new show fronts will be ablaze No Big Leaguer Can Do It!

Just to vary monotony Shuster stacks 20 pocket billiard balls on one hand and then swings the pyra- mid around without dropping a ball.
