BARN YARD CREATURES ARE NOT STUPID

Acts With Gentry Brothers Shows Demonstrate Libel of Sheep and Pigs. For generations the pig, the goat and the sheep were considered the most stupid animals. The trainers with Gentry Brothers famous shows, however, have disproven the libel. With Gentry Brothers shows, which will visit this city next Thursday, Sept. 2, is a complete? troupe of trained pigs, sheep and goats. If you ask the trainers why these creatures are considered the most stupid, the tutor will say it is becatise those who expound the theory were not patient enough in training. Trained dogs rolling barrels, climbing through hoops, etc., are common, but with Gentry Brothers shows is a troupe of barnyard creatures that do this and more. The scope of animals which Gentry Brothers trainers have educated runs from the lowly swine of the barnyard to the leopard and elephant of India. Their wild animal feature, which is presented in the big show, is said by trainers to be the most marvelous act ever presented to the public. Gentry Brothers shows carry many European novelty acts, seen this season for the first time in America. Gentry Brothers shows will give two exhibitions in this city Thursday, Sept. 2nd.
