Shrine Circus To Arrive
Trained Animals,
Human Performers
Here For Weekend
Trained aiiimali and human
performer! from many parti of
the world atarted arriving in Rose'
burg this morning for the sixth
annual Roseburg Shrine Club-Ps-lack
Bros. Circus, whereupon the
Douglas (Jounty Fairgrounds be
, came a scene of bustling activity
in preparation for performances to
De given Saturday ana Sunday. .
Hal A. Esselstrom. who, as gen.
eral chairman of the Shrine Club's
circus committee, has worked dili
gently for weeks in behalf of the
circus, expressed hope that this
. year's showing would draw record
crowds. He emphasized that be
cause of the ample capacity of the
fairgrounds grandstand, good seats
are still available for all perform
ances. :
This is the first year for the
circus to appear in Roseburg on a
Saturday and Sunday rather than
a Sunday and Monday, meaning
that school will be out both days.
The performances Saturday will
start at 2:15 and 8:15, and those
Sunday will be at 1:15 and 5:15.
Thousands of coupons have been
distributed through the schools of
noseDurg ana Douglas county tnat
will entitle school children to a
reduced price for all performances
except Saturday nights. In addi
tion, many children who otherwise
would not have a chance to at
tend will be entertained by means
of tickets provided by business
and professional men, industrial
concerns, and civic, labor and fra
ternal organizations throughout the
area surrounding Roseburg.
Throngs of out-of-town children

bus caravans both afternoons.
They will come from such scat
tered points as Glide, Sutherlin,
Riddle, Canyoriville, Myrtle
Creek, Drain, Winston and Dillard.
Preliminary to the circus Itself,
the Barnie Longsdorf "troupe" was
putting on its "act" today with
nobody on hand to applaud. As
superintendent, Longsdorf heads
the crew responsible for setting up
the circus equipment and hanging
the maze of rigging necessary for
the aerial acts.
Climbing aloft with ropes and
wires, these men sometimes dis
play a disregard for danger ap
proaching that of the actual per
formers. They are specialists in
their line, able to accomplish in
hours job that would require
days in less experienced hands.
They are even engineers of sorts.
They have to know about stress
and strain and tensile strength.
And this yoar electrical power fig.
' ures in the equipment they handle.
In the opening aerial spectacle,
electric hoists elevate three enor
mous birdcages in which girls
perform at the same time as a
dozen other Barbette-trained Aeri
alovelies, each on her own tra
peze. In another special number di
rected by Barbette, synchronized
electric motors cause a tower to
rise as It rotates. Atop this tower,
Ronnie Lewis balanaccs an 18-foot
pole on his shoulders from the ends
of which girls whirl by their
teeth. At either side, meanwhile,
girls at the top of ladders use
their teeth to hold wires on which
still other girls, perform feats of
balance.
Also to be Installed by Longs
dorf's crew was the complex rig
ging of the Flying Palacios, the
High-Wire Torrcanis and Lalage,
while at ground level props were
made ready for such acts as tho
Kovacs, the Atomics and Jan Ris
ko and Nina and for tho clowns and
the trained-animal presentations.
Antonucci's Chimps and the dogs
and monkeys that make up Vic
tor Julian's Pets have their own
mobile quarters.
The Besalou Baby Elephants and
(he horses of the Dorchester
Troupe of English bareback riders
arrived in a special railway bag
gage car.
The circus, which played In Au
gust, at Klamath Falls and Eu
gene, is coming here from Salem,
following appearances at Vancou
