WIRTHS’ CIRCUS

OPENING TO-HSGHT Replete with the very latest and choicest pickings of the circus world a.s it is known in America and Europe, Wirths’ Circus will appear in Dunedin to-night (Monday), December 21, mi a. location on the Main Highway, near the, .Exhibition, for live nights only, with matinees an Wednesday and Saturday. During their many years as the premier entrepreneurs of Australasia Wirth Bros, have submitted many splendid programmes, but the current season’s bill eclipses all its predecessors. For variety in acts calling for tho very last word "in skill and daring, and for gracefulness in the performers, the entertainment that is in store ior the amusement-loving population of this centre has lately proved itself in Sydney and Adelaide to be just what the public has been waiting for; and the whole show, exactly as it was staged in Sydney and Adelaide, will be seen hero —indeed, more will be seen here than in Sydney and Adelaide, for under existing conditions in those cities it is impossible to have the menagerie on view, and that instructive show in itself, with its wealth of _ the wild life of the jungle and mountain, will be scon here in all its completeness. The stars featured on the circus bill this season include the Honey Sisters, who appear in a number of acts unsurpassed for grace and skill; Alfred Clark, the world’s rider; Torrelli’s surprise packet of a circus within a circus, with its screamingly funny ponies, mules, dogs, monkeys, and clowns; Captain Betks amazing trained seals; Miss Eileen May ami her trained baby elephants (Peggy and Jumbo and many others), to say nothing of an army of the funniest clowns that ever cracked jokes. A feature is tho reappearance of Mr R. Wirth after an absence of km years. Jealouslv maintaining the reputation that they have built up through tho years that have passed, the Wirth Bros, have spared no expense to preserve the exceptionally high standard that places their show on an unapproachable pinniclc. Wirth Bros.’ great band is now in charge of Hughic AFMalion, the emperor of the cornet. The menagerie will ho open from 4 to 5 p.m. daily in order to give an opportunity oi seeing the wild beasts fed. The box plan is at The Bristol for reserves.
