WIRTH BROTHERS’ LIMITED CIRCUS AND ZOO.

Will open a season in Taihape tomorrow, Friday, February, 27, for one night only. Many star attractions will be presented. The Eddy Duo marvellous performance on the silver wire, turning somersaults. The Cevine Troupe of four ladies and two gentlemen will appear in «a whirlwind wirewalking and dancing act, entitled Maniacs of the Wire,” in which they move at such speed that they require two parallel wires to give room for the whole company to perform at one The Helbourn Herald said: “They race along the wires like telegrams, and with more certainty of reaching their destination. The Three Garcias will be seen in acrobatic feats that are the wonder of three Continf ents. The Zoe Sisters, in a butterfly ballet in mid-air, suspended by cords held in their teeth, will give a performance so beautiful that beholder-s will hardly think of its danger. The Flying VVinskills will leap through the air, pirouetting and somsersauting from one swinging trapeze to another, while their Charlie Chaplin clown keeps the audience in paroxysms of laughter. Leo Monfort, circling the Loop of Death, will show what he alone has been able to do, two of his would be imitators having been killed in the attempt. Tex Baileyfs living statuary animals will be seen again in an entirely new set. 0 classical and topical poses, copies from the beautiful alabaster statues o the world's famous art galleries.
