GO TO ATLANTA’S BG INDOOR CIRCUS DURING
Atlanta is to have its first taste of
indoor circus during Xmas week. The
Rhody Royal Circus, Hippodrome and
Wild West will open at the big Audi¬
torium undt r the auspices of the Fifth
Regiment and the Boys’ Club Monday
night, December 20th and play two
performances each day right thro’
Saturday, the 25th.,
The story of the winter circus is
simple. The smaller acts of the trav¬
eling tent show can find opening in
the vaudeville theatres but the big
acts, the feature acts around which
the tent show is constructed, are ex
eluded from the theatre on accountof
size and the immense quantity of
special paraphernalia necessary to
produce them.
In former years circus performers

the cold months where they could
continue the work of trainiug. The
long months of waiting were expensive
until Rhoda Royal, the new king of
the saw-dust ring, solved the problem
by the organization of the big indoor
ndoor circus thus giving the daring
riders and sensational aerialists oppor¬
tunity to continue the training at a
small profit rather than a loss as here¬
tofore.
The Rhoda Royal Circus, Hippo¬
drome and Wild West is not an ame
teur performance. It is a high class
clean cut professional circus entertain¬
ment combining into a single show
all the big sensational feature acts of
the five largest American tented
shows, and the programe contains the
names of the bluest blood of circus
aristocracy.
The regular prices of admission-25c
50e, 75c, and $1.00 obtain and it is
hoped the Xmas shoppers who visit
Atlanta during the week will stop
long enough to patronize a worthy
enterprise. They will receive the full
value of the small amount expended
in the excellence of the programe
presented if the newspapers of Mem¬
phis, New Orleans, Birmingham and
Chattanooga, where the show has al¬
ready appeared this season under
similar auspices, be good guides.
