SAME OLD GRCUS, BUT AT TS BES ~ EVERINNEW SU Handsome Women and Feained Animal Acts Are Outstanding Features, By Charles Darnton. ‘There was a momentary hush, then, shattering the spaces of Madison Square Garden, came the mighty ‘voice: “LAS AND GHN-THL-MBN, I invite your ENTIRD ATTENTION to MADMOSSELL LEITZDL, QUEEN OF ADRIAL GYMNASTS!” The supreme moment had been reached, the highest point of Ringling, Brothers and Barnum and Bailey's Combined Shows—come one, come all, and don’t forget the sideshow! it was Saturday night, with every- body on his toes or his heads and the scent of sawgust in the air, A pretty little woman—that Is, a woman not very tall, yet—well, you know—stood bowing in a glare of Nght that shone through her shock of blond hair. Throwing off her re- splendent cloak she looked very charming in her new Haster tights. The band struck up and she went twining up a rope on which she swuns herself head over heels like a human pinwheel so many times that you for- got to count in your amazement at her strength and skill and endur- ance. Then she twirled down and bowed her way out of the arena. Her success was echoed in a roar of ap- Plause, through which she picked her Way daintily, all smiles and grace. ‘Mile. Leitzel deserved our “entire at- tention” and got it. This- year’s circus is distinguished above all others for its handsome and clever women and its trained animal acts. These are the outstanding fea- tures, though everything is exception- ally good. exhibited such talented performers. They seem to have come from every part of the globe, and they are so skilled that the big show on Saturday night moved along without a single hitch. HWven the clowns, spread all over the place, were more original in their ideas and costumes than ever vefore. For example, there was a large lady who’ her protuberant bustle from time to time, but !t al- ways rejoined her in her majestic promenade. The other ladies wore nothing to gandies of France is displaying.

Telephone Stuyvesant 4700 The Wanamaker business was founded sixty years” in the newspapers — quality, lasting satisfaction. Somewhat Reminiscent In the month of March, 1861, at the mo- ment that President Buchanan and his Secretaries were considering the request ot the South for the evacuation of Fort Sumpter, the delay of which is said to have precipitated the Civil War, a Philadelphia country boy signed a document that put this store into business on East Market Street, Philadelphia and “thereby hangs,a tale” of interest to other boys and some of their fathers and mothers still living. The old, wholesale Quaker firm down Market Street, hurried to an end by stag- nation of business and closing of its doors, two floors of the Perry, MeNeille Building, about three thousand square feet in all, were leased and the iron safe of the old Schuylkill Bank built into the wall became the receptacle for a few un- costly account books of the new traders which got under way Sixty years ago at the end of March, 1861 Market Street in Philadelphia and Broadway in New York were paved with cobble stones, over which clattered the old-fashioned two-horse omnibuses. The horse cars were just beginning to appear. There were no telephones, typewriters, electric lights, nor other inventions which have revolutionized our mode of life in the last half century and transformed exist- ence into a thing of light and ease. The war came on with a shot The drum beat never stopped, day or night, until the regiments were in com- mission and on their way to the front. Stores and hundr of the big, old firms were compelled to go into bankruptcy or into liquidation. There are very few names on business signs that were there sixty years ago, It has been a long, hard climb, year by year, day by day, to the heights whither we have come, but the high regard of the people and their encouragement, varticu- larly in 1920, have been far beyond our expectations, but we are well rewarded by the confidence and support of those who know us to be worthy and who cheer us to make our great buildings roomier and better and to continue to add to the ad- vantages of those who serve with us and to the great multitude who depend upon us to serve them honorably and beneficially.
