Main Circus Introduces Labor- Saving Devices By the installation of modern labor- saving devices and the use of new and up-todate equipment the Walter L. Main circus, this season will break all records it is expected, in time required to erect and raze its-tents. The old timer who finds pleasure in watching the gangs of men drive the Jong stakes will rub his eyes in astonishment at the sight of a gasoline engine, fitted with a miniature pile-driver, sending the stakes earthward at the speeg of one.a minute. This same machine pulls them at night saving an hour or more of valuable time. Gong are the old fashioned gasoline torches In their place the Main circus has introduced its own electric lighting plant that furnishes light not only for the “big top” but all the side shows and the show grounds as well, yet so compact is it that the entire outfit is loaded on one wagon. The wagon and equipment will be on exhibition each day near the main entrance. 4 To feed the 400 employeés it was found necessary to install this season an entire- ly new system of cooking, and the old army range has been succeeded by steam cookers and tables. With them ‘it is a simple matter to prepare thfee meals a day and have them ready on the dot. By a newly patented arrangement all of the big poles of the two larger tents are raised at one time and big spools un- roll the canvas with saving of much time and labor. Horges will always be a necessity arot a circus, but their work has been lightened by the use of big motor trucks that haul at one time six or more of the big dens and cages to and from the circus grounds.” They come in es- pecially useful when the circus arrives late. In fact, every device that will save time has been. installed by the Main cir- .{cus, and it is well worth a visit to the show grounds on the morning of the exhi- bition to 8ee the way a modern’ circus erects its white city and feeds its hun- dreds of employes. All this new equipment can be seen on circus day, Friday, May 26. Maple and Pine streets, Main street. Miss the purchaser, has taken the a8 investment.

In the captivating role of Nadia Castleton, or- phan and societiy heiress, Miss Hammer. stein added another success tq her list of Selznick characterizations. In none of her former achievements has she es- tablished herself more completely in the hearts of her followers than she did last evening Nadia Castleton gives her am- ple opportunity to tun the whole emotion- al scale, and Miss Hammerstein improves the opportunity with a vim. Nadia Castleton returns from a fancy dress ball attired in her costume.of parier maid. Seen thus in the outer hall of the apartment by Tom Lawlor, Nadia is or- dered to fetch a supply of bath towsls. Seized by the humor of the request, Na. dia plays the part and provides the tow- els. One -thing follows another, untl young Lawlor, pursuing his affalr with the pretty maid, finds hi: completely in_love with her.
