A1 G. B arnes’ Big Four-Ring Wild
Animal Circus to Exhibit Here
September 9th.
—
Surpassing itseii in magnmcerice
and brilliancy, the popular A1 G.
Barnes wild animal circus is
slated for a visit to Newport on
Monday, September 9.
Ever since the organization of the
Barnes Circus 25 years ago, it has
been the policy of this no\v big show
man to present to the public a clean,
clever^ wholesome and instructive
program, made up of only animal
performers. As a consequence the
rarest and most valuable animals of
the world have been assembled, until
now they number more than one
thousand, and each and every one has
a circus stunt to do. s:
Barnes owns all of his circus, there ==
are no rented concessions, nor rented
railroad cars. Piece by piece the =
wonderful man assembled his now
big investment. The largest single ==
group of lions in the world are seen =
T^rnes big canvas, thirty =
of them. Sampson, an immense lion, =g
does an Art Smith every perform- =s
ance, soaring to the top of the can
vas surrounded by sizzling fireworks, sss
and Venus Fashion twice a day faces £jj|
If death from these kings of beasts. In ^
^ one act she puts her head in the lion’s ^
monster maw, and has the same beast ss
take a strip of raw meat from her
naked lips. Three horse-riding lions
leap from the ground onto the backs
of galloping horses, while others are
. - . J » » ,1 nnnin fT
seen in u v-^ j ——
acts with other animals. E=
J A group of Royal Bengal tigers in gs
the hands of Miss Mabel Stark, an g;
animal educator of world repute, g
amaze one with their learning. Leo
pards handled by a slip of a girl are g
taught to leap through the air, lie ^
down at her bidding, jump through g
hoops of fire, while one feature is a _
quartette of horse-riding animals.
Nowhere else in the world have ele- =
phants, camels, llamas and zebras —
been taught to such a high degree of gj
proficiency as in the Barnes Circus, —
whose talent is set forth in a 103 ==
feature act program of purest gold. g
Circus day will begin by a big-two
mile long tsreet parade at 10:30 a. m. g
Doors to the big top open at 1 and 7 g

Manufacturers of
BEVO
are NOT Pro-German
READ THESE LETTERS:

U. S. GOVERNMENT
Buys Great Quantities of This Popular
Drink, for Our Soldiers
STATEMENT FROM DISTRIBUTORS OF BEVO:
There seems to be a question in the minds of some of the citizens of jNewport as
to the loyalty and patriotism of Anheuser-Busch, who manufacture and sell Bevo.
It has been called to our attention that some of our merchants have been
threatened with boycott if they sell Bevo.
In order that the public may understand the position the United States Gov
ernment takes with reference to the sale of Bevo, we make the following statements:
_Revo is sold in large quantities to the Government Nitro Plant, Nitro, West
Virginia.
Bevo is sold in the Congressional Restaurant at Washington, u. L.
Bevo is sold in Post Office Lunch Rooms.
Up to July 1st Anheuser-Busch furnished to the army, 201,410 cases of Bevo.
. It stands to reason, if there was any question in the minds of the Federal Authorities as to the
loyalty of Anheuser-Buch, they would not permit the use of Bevo in Cantcrments, Army Training
Camps, in the Navy and at Naval Training Stations.
