Circus Here Monday
Walter L. Main's Fashion Plate Shows arrived in Clearfield over the Pennsylvania this morning and shortly after daylight the work of unloading and transportation of paraphernalia to the show grounds began under the supervision of the usual army of small boys.
Everything about the outfit was spick and span, the stock was in fine condition and things soon took on an old time hue when the circus wagons marked Walter L. Main commenced trundling over our streets.
Clearfield people have been familiar with the Main circus for the past twenty-five or thirty years and have reason to know that the name Walter L. Main is a guarantee of the very best of the circus line.
The street parade at 12:30 was a very creditable pageant.
The large crowd attracted to the show grounds on Levy Avenue this afternoon were well repaid for their trouble and were privileged to witness one of the best circus performances seen in Clearfield in many years. Mr. Main has gathered together a highly creditable aggregation and everyone in this afternoon's audience was more than pleased with the high character of the performance and the general conduct of the show throughout.
All the old-fashioned features were given and the different performances were up-to-date in every particular.
Some of the Main features and which attracted more than ordinary interest were Dottie Snyder and her troupe of trained elephants; Hollis, DeMott and Wallett, the three world's champion bareback somersault riders; Etta Myer and her posing horses; death-defying aerial acts and big wild west show. The usual army of clowns were on hand to delight the kiddos and the entire performance was all that could be desired.
The show is clean and moral, no gambling or other objectionable features allowed on the grounds. Another big crowd will attend this evening's performance.
To show their hearts were in the right place, the management offered exclusive
and free Liberty Loan advertising for the parade.--Clearfield Progress, Clearfield, Penn.
