Evening Republican, Volume 21, Number 197, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 5 September 1917 — Circus Attracted Good Sized Crowd Tuesday. [ARTICLE]

Circus Attracted Good Sized Crowd Tuesday.

Gentry Brothers’ circus was in town Tuesday and gave performances both afternoon and evening. Despite the fact that the farmers are very busy at this time of year, the big tent was filled on each occasion and the audience thoroughly enjoyed the acts. The circus is clean in every respect and the Gentry circus is rapidly forging to the front among the tented shows of this country. The parade, which was scheduled for 10 o’clock, did not put in an appearance until about 12:30, but nevertheless there was a good sized crowd on hand to witness it.
