Thirty acres of tents will be set, and the big show will be exhib ited in Omaha on Monday, July 30. A wonderful new program is prom ised. Startng with a magnificent pageant entitled, “Aladdin and His [ Wonderful Lamp,” the circus will oc- | cupy three hours or more with events j in air, on platform, and rings, and in j the huge hippodiome surrounding. Not one moment will be lost in all of the spaces of the vast enclosure. The opening feature is the first at tempt at Chinese pageantry in the his tory of American circuses, and it has been described as the most gorgeous presentation ever attempted. The story of the genie slave of the magic lamp is too well known to need de scription here. However, it may be well to call attention to the possibil ities for display in coloring and mag nificent settings in the Chinese locale, and to the fact that Barnum and Bailey have spent $1,500,000 to repro duce all of its glorius possibilities. The circus program, which follows the pageant, is made up almost en tirely of names and acts new to the American public, the cream of all con tinental circuses having rushed to the big show’s European agents for book ing on account of the closing of most of the big foreign circuses.. There will be more than one hun dred acts, and to name and describe j them would occupy too much space. _,_ We positively grow the hair. Best care taken in saving each strand.
