Ringling Brothe/s’ World’s Greatest Shows will begin a short engagement at the Coliseum in Chicago on Saturday night, April Ist. After the opening preformance two shows will be given daily. The Ringling Brothers have made many changes in their circus since last season. There are 1286 names on the pay roll; there are 670 horses, and there are over 1000 animals in the menagerie, including Tiny Tom Tinker, the smallest elephant ever placed on exhibition. Of the 400 performers over 250 are foreigners who will be seen in America for the first time at the Coliseum opening. As usual the general excellence of the long programme 1s the feature of the show.

Among these foreign novelties are the great Parker Family of English Gypsy riders, the Bonesetti family of Italian acrobats, the Delno and Alex troupes of French aerialists. Prof. Emory’s troupe of baby elephant actors, Mijares, the Spanish high-wire wizard; "Toque” the wonderful equestrian dog; Albert S&human and his remarkable troupe of educated horses from the Circus Bchuman, Berlin; the Cast rill ion family of Mexican gymnasts and the funniest clowns on earth.
