Fond and loving parents expe
rienced no serious objections what
ever last night when little Jim
my’s bedtime arrived—in fact
there were many little Jimmies
who did not even await the usual
bedtime .call, all seemingly anx
ious to retire early and dream of
roaring lions, rubber skinned ele
phants and chalk smeared clowns,
for today is circus day in Griffin
and the youngster is haying his
inning in full.
During the early hours of
morning the huge steel trains of
the big Sparks Shows rolled into
the city and by 9 o’clock the my
riads of wonders had been hauled
away to the Lightfoot Park
grounds where the flags of the
“big top” were already flying in
the air and the vast army of
employes were being fed in the
“cook house.
Brilliant Parade.
The morning parade was a bril
liant spectacle scintillating with
colorful schemes afforded by the
beautiful tableaux wagons, cages
and trappings and the countless
units of paraphernalia . which go
to make up a real big up tp the
split second show.
After seeing the beautiful spec
imens of horse flesh in the Sparks
lineup, one’s memory goes back to
the era when automobiles were in
their infancy.
Big Opening.
The opening number of the
M big show” proper employs a cast
of several hundred human and
animal participants featuring
Karl B. Mosher, contra-tenor, and
Lucile Aumann, soprano, with a
wide range of voice, a large en
semble- of premier dancers, weird
musicians, gorgeously blanketed
horses, elephants, camels and ze
bras and was especially rich in
costuming. From this time on
there was not a dull moment in
hippodrome track, all being occu
pied by a maze of clever animal
and arenic displays.
Wild Animals.
Trained wild animals predom
inated and they included lions, ti
gers and polar bears with great
Dane dogs intermingling with
bears in a fearless manner. Oth
er animal displays included Capt.
Tiebor’s rope walking seals, the
Bibb County Pigs, Carl Wolf’s
llama and pony group and two
large elephant groups, as well as
.
■
Y
several others of distinction. Lu
cille Auma'nn with her trained
pigeons and splendid voice proved
a fetching novelty and drew
rounds of applause, as did Fran
ces Widener and Babe Pope who
injected modern jazz in the work
ing of their huge charges in the
elephant displays.
Well Trained Horses.
Sparks Shows can well feel
proud of its trained horses for
their equal has never been seen in
this city and probably never will
be. The troupe of 16 “rotation”
thoroughbreds worked by their
original trainer, Prof. Kloska, of
the Stellinghen, Germany, Train
ed Wild Animal Farms, displayed
almost human intelligence. Every
animal knew his place and return
ed to it without a word of com
mand.
The aristocrats of the horse
world * Sparks’ Ten Dancing
Horses, featuring Lady Fashion,
billed as the world’s most beauti
ful animal, and Baron De Bell,
ridden by Florence Harris, daring
lady rider of Horse Show fame,
drew many “ohs” and “aha” from
the large audience.
The Ballerina troupe of Span
ish dancing and bareback riders
offered a clever and aristocratic
riding number that was most
beautifully costumed.
Arenic Displays.
Interspersed with the trained
wild animal offerings were a num
her of unusual arenic displays, the
featured ones being dainty Naid
da Miller, high wire danseuse of
rare skill and much personality,
the Flying Walters on the aerial
bars, the gymnastic Mardo Trio
and the European Moston Bros.,
the Koban Japanese acrobatic and
balancing marvels, as well as
many others o efqual merit.
The real thrillers were provid
ed by the Boston Bros., in a high
ly sensational hand to hand catch
over the heads of seven men and
the great Sakata, who does a
thrilling foot slide from the top
of the tent to the ground. Rosita,
Spanish lady juggler, also proves
a fetching novelty in her pecu
liar art, while dainty aerial offer
ings were presented by Kula York,
Babe Pope, Gwen Carsey, Gertrude
West, Minnie Rdoney, Edna Kline,
Rosita Boston and the Polley Sis
ters,
Good Clowns.
Good- clowns are the life of any
circus, and under the direction of
Paul Wetzel, a veritable young
army of fun makers were on hand
at all times with and laugh
able conceits.
Another performance of this
splendid show is scheduled for
tonight at 8, with the doors open
ing at 7, during which period a
one hour’s musical program will
be rendered by the Jack Phillips
circus band, augmented by Prof
J. M. Del Vecho, world’s master
pneumatic calliopist.

DRIED RIGHT UP
Any breaking out of the skin,
even fiery, itching eczema, can be
quickly overcome by applying a
little Mentho-Sulphur, says a not
ed skin specialist. Because of its
germ destroying properties, this
sulphur preparation instantly
brings ease from skin irritation,
soothes and heals the eczema right
up and leaves the skin clear and
smooth.
It seldom fails to relieve the
torment and disfigurement. Suf
ferers from skin trouble should
get a little jar of Rowles Mentho
Sulphur from any good drugg'st
and use it like a cold cream.
