WON COMPLIMENTS
FROM KANSAS CITY.
Kansas City yesterday enjoyed a
treat in the circus line that was all
the more novel because of its extreme
rarity in that the management fully
redeemed the promises of its adver
tising and gave two performances,
afternoon and evening, that were of
the highest order of excellence. The
Great Wallace Show, as the aggrega
tion is called, is indeed great because
it is built upon different lines from the
ordinary circus and while other shows
may lay stress upon certain “colossal”
features and scatter the superlatives
of description as recklessly and freely
as they do their handbills, the Wallace
organization goes modestly and quiet
ly to work and “does things.”
Seldom has any show in Kansas
City met with such a flattering re
ception as this one. In the afternoon
the crowd was large but at night it
was something immense. Before the
circus began in the evening all the
seats were filled and still the crowds
were pouring in in persistent streams.
Soon it became apparent to the
management that all who applied
could not be accommodated and the
gates were ordered closed. Fully
1,200 people were turned away.—
