When it comes to performances under the “big top,” the little motorized shows pattern after the big outfits that travel by rail. Gone like the wagons are “personal acts” that made John Robinson’s name word when grand- a boy. ces Wani Tarills of this day and time for a thrill every show,” says George 11 circus pro- 2 a 45-truck quarters in nd listen to ng ‘Paddle of SUNDAY e CHICKEN DINNER WITH ALL THE TRIMMINGS!

Then she puts the performing horses through their paces and winds up the day by handling the elephants. Although the motorized show is something relatively new—the first one started in 1925—all are expand- ing gradually.
