Colonel Geo. W. Hall's "stupendous and unequalled" circus played to capacity audiences on the Easl End flats Monday. While the show makes no pretence of being a rival of Ringling Bros." aggregation, there was sufficient circus flavor about it to please all who attended. The elephant, the camel, the llama, the snakes and the ponies were all interesting, while the jazz of the circus band, together with the pink lemonade and peanuts brought many fond memories of other days. The inevitable "after show," the side-show and the oriental dance for "men only" each had its audience.
Comparisons with other tented aggregations are manifestly unfair under the circumstances, as few circus men would attempt to cover a section of country so sparsely settled and necessitating a jump of hundreds of miles between engagements. Col. Hall's circus has the honor of being thefirst of its kind to visit Northern and Central B. C, which in Itself Is quite a distinction.
MOTION PICTURE CIRCUS
BETTER THAN REAL THING
When the motion picture turns upon the show business and presents either a theatrical performance or a circus, it generally gives something almost better than the reality; cer tainly it iB combining forms of enter talnment in an original sort of way Via the screen the spectator sees an other variety of showmanship�and this is not a one-elephant circus.
,g)o, in "The Biggest Show on Earth," Enid Bennett's third Paramount picture, the circus reigns; the big top flutters Ha canvas and flag9; the menagerie inhabitants roar�silently-�and the clowns ply their time honored - profession. "The Biggest Show on Earth" will be displayed at aTthe Dreamland Theatre Friday *and Saturday, and nothing will be left undone by Manager Adams to make the presentation one of the most notable of tbe season.
Tonight and Thursday night the Incomparable female impersonator, Julian Eltinge, will be seen in "The Widow's Might."
