THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., MAY 16, 1937—PART FIVE. HELP AND SITUATIONS. G—S§ H%R Circus Always a Favorite Of Was}lington Notables From First President on to Present, Most Chief Executives Have Taken Time Off to See Its Productions. BY JESSIE FANT EVANS. No vearly visitor to the Nation's Capital has had a warmer welcome all the way down the line from Washing- ton's highest officialdom to its hum- blest citizen than the circus. No less a person than the first Presi- dent found the circus a delightful amusement and honored one with his presence in Philadelphia on April 22, 1793, when that city was still the Cap- ital This precedent established by Presi- dent Washington was followed by John Adams, his successor, and has been upheld by nearly every Chief Execu- tive since. In the year 1857 Washington was the scene of a thrilling contest between two outstanding circus performers of the era, James Hernandez and James Robinson, who were challenging each other for the championship of the world in circus horsemanship. The Victory was to belong to the rider who could somersault the greatest number of times on the horse's back once around the ring. Robinson turned 20, & feat never since equaled, it is said. Another Robinson, John, caused a sensation in here not long after the Civil War by driving up to the Treas- ury Department in a wagon literally full with silver taken in admissions, the result of a circus tour. Congress Attended. Upon one occasion Congress even adjourned to attend a circus. Invita- tions printed on satin had been ten- dered many Capital officials, some of whom responded in person. It is re- ocorded that President Zachary Taylor, Henry Clay, Daniel Webster, Steven A. Douglas, Lewis Cass and John C. Calhoun were among those who at- tended. | President Lincoln enjoyed a circus a8 whole-heartedly as did his sons, ‘Tad and Robert. One of the stories which spread like wildfire among the Civil War Presi- | SPring after being in trainin was that | which had (to) 6o with! the Vislt ‘of | Sarasota, Fla,, it took four long trains | dent's political opponents | bucket, Bailey Circus methods in loading, un- loading and feeding their personnel. Baskets of flowers were sent by Pres ident Grover Cleveland to circus per- formers injured in the Adam Fore- paugh Circus during its visit to Wash- ington in 1893. In a patriotic pro- logue entitled “1776," a local army hired as the foe took its duties so seri- ously that the mimic battle became an actual one. Ambulances had to be called and a number of the more seri- ously injured had to remain tempo- rarily in Washington hospitals. Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show and William F. Cody, organizer, were prime favorites of President Theodore Roosevelt and his family. Mrs. Alice Roosevelt devotees. Both Mrs. Hoover and Mrs. Roose- | velt have seemed to enjoy the circus. Circuses such as the one arriving today own their own railroad trains, the railroads furnishing only the en- gines, the rails and the depots. Every- thing has to go on wheels with a circus—its people, elephants, horses, camels and zebras. The Ringhng Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Combined Circus provides a | berth in its sleepers for every work- man, just as it does shower facili- | ties, whether those be set up in suites, state rooms or sleeper vestibules. However, these showers in no wise bave done away with the traditional baths of the performers, which they still take after each per- | formance in the big top. This is why there are always three or four buckets beside each trunk in each of the dressing rooms, and it may be why the circus carries six water { wagons equipped with sprinklers. Takes Four Trains. When the Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Combined Circus started forth on the road again this 700-acre Witner quarters tract at Judge Throckmorton of Massachu- | {f 100 steel railroad cars to carry its setts, emissary from his State, to pro 1600 people, seven herds of elephants, test placing of Negro troops on bat- cas 31 tents and the countless tons of | i e Tonte § Upon s srival he W | s at Reenalla which ake et e | asked to wait a few minutes while the President terminated his visit ; with Dan Rice, world-famous circus | clown.

President Johnson also had an experience in offending an important political caller whose visit happened to coincide with that of Dan Rice. Clowns and Papers. Tt was during the impeachment proceedings. The presidential office was then on the second floor of the | ‘White House. Col. John F. Fourney, the Washington Chronicle and the Philadelphia Press, arriving at the | Executive Mansion for a meeting on certain post office appointments, found himself waiting in an ante room while the laughter of the Presi- dent and Dan Rice met his indignant ears. He left in a violent rage with- out waiting to see the President. His two newspaper organs the following morning carried abusive the White House?” ‘“The President Closeted With a Clown!"” Phineas T. Barnum, first master of | the art of ballyhoo, was another circus director to regularly call at the White House. One of his earliest humbug exploi- tations was that of Joice Heth, a col- ored woman whom he declared to have | been the nurse of George Washington | at the time | of her death. An autopsy performed | and thus over 146 years old by various members of the medical profession, however, set her span of years not in excess of 80. Barnum was the first circus man to | present a menagerie, hippodrome, three rings and other features in one big show. Both the French and German Army staffs, it is the circus claims, | detailed officers to study Barnum & ! Is it pos- | | cus, | Washington on September 24 and 25, articles, | headlined, “What Is the Matter at | 1.009 menagerie animals, 700 horses, big-top production. The prolongation of the circus’ usual | two-day stay to three this season proves that history only repeats itself, according to the files of the Washing- ton Daily Intelligencer for April 27, 1846. Then the advertisement of ! Welsh, Mann & Delavan's Circus at Four-and-a-Half street and Pennsyl- vania avenue, read that in conse- classes of society. the managers were induced to prolong their stay in Washington for two more nights. Three years later the Washington Daily Republic of September 23 car- ried an advertisement concerning the appearance of June, Titus & Co.’s Cir- and Menagerie Combined in in Alexandria September 26 and in Georgetown September 27. & controlling force in two newspapers, | from the advertisement itself: “Among the animals in this ex- hibition is a splendid white or polar bear, the only specimen of this species | in the United States. Also the per- forming elephant, ‘Romeo.’ ” In the days when telephones were a rarity, James F. Oyster, whose place of business was at Ninth street and | Pennsylvania avenue, was president | of the Board of Education. Each year he won the gratitude of teachers and pupils by telephoning ahead to all of | the schools equipped with them that the circus parade was coming. He would further intimate that relay | runners should be sent to schools | without phones and that good man- | ;agemem ought to enable “prolonged | recesses to coincide with the passing of the parade.” A rule of the circus is that there are no command or special perform- ances except under the big top. All patrons must see its acst on the lot. Here in Washington the only excep- tion that the circus makes year in and out—is its special performance for the boys and girls at the Chil- dren's Hospital. Here wheel-chairs | and hospital beds make the ringside ! seats for the circus acts that are put on especially for the little patients. Both staff and attendants claim that | they have a superlative quality here . that they never achieve elsewhere. Schools and Colleges EW" FRANK, prominent as | meeting were James R.

The annual dinner dance of the American University Alumni Associa- tion was held Wednesday night at the National Press Club, with Wilmer F. 8tickle, president of the association, presiding. Dr. Joseph M. M. Gray, chancellor of the university, spoke on the new ‘“Development Program” for American University, which had been launched at a luncheon of prominent business leaders of the city at the Willard Hotel, Tuesday noon. The American University Alumni Quartet, led by Barrett Fuchs, sang.

To ineet the needs of the medical, dental and veterinary services, a bill (8. 2311) has been introduced by Sen- ator Copeland of New York which proposes the authorizationr of seven brigadier generals for the Army Medical Department. This group would include five Medical Corps of- ficers in the grade of brigadier gen- eral (two now are authorized), one dental officer to be brigadier general, and one veterinary officer to be brig- adier general. In addition, the pro- posal will increase the Medical Corps to 1,183 officers and the Dental Corps to 258 officers, this increase in officer personnel to be accomplished by the appointment of 50 medical and 25 dental officers in each of the 1938, 1939 and 1940 fiscal years.

Hearings were held recently on the proposal to make the chief of the Dental Corps a brigadier general, upon which the War Department ren- dered an adverse 1eport, but the bill described above provides general of- ficers for all three branches of the Medical Department, viz, medical, dental and veterinary. The Army Veterinary Corps has an authorized commissioned personnel of 126 from first lieutenant to colonel, and an authorized enlisted complement 570 men in grade from private to master sergeant.
