PERRY BROTHERS’ CIRCUS

Splendid Combination Last night in the Wellington Winter Show Building, Perry Brothers’ Circus was presented before an admiring audiency. Comprised only of artists of proven ability, a policy maintained during Perry Brothers’ 70 years of progress, the present unit is a splendid combination. The programme is headed by the Flying Dunbars, thrilling people who perform almost miraculous feats while flying in midair 40 £eet up in the “big top.” Acts from all parts of the world, acts which are sensations, novelties, fun and excitement, are presented—acrobatics, tumbling, ladder and perch pole balancers, trapeze artists, head balancers, jugglers, rope spinners, wire-walkers, springboard and risley artists, women and men riders, contortionists, performing dogs, sheep, horses, lions, tigers, and elephants. It is a show which the public should be able to see again and again, so full is it of that joyous modernistic merriment and originality. Perry Brothers’ zoo of 18 cages of wild jungle animals, and a herd of elephants, is on view between 4 and 5 p.m. every day, so that the public may attend to watch the animals feeding. Children are specially invited to see this carried out. It is something which will linger long in their memories.

A matinee beginning at 2.30 o’clock will be presented this afternoon.
