Addison Bennett Discusses Growth
of Company in 60 Years and
Atmosphere That He Found -at
Tents on Vaughn Street.
BY ADDISON BENNETT.
There was a vast difference between
the Old John Robinson circus of 60
years ago and the John Robinson circus
that showed yesterday afternoon and
Jast night out in North Portland. But
the changes have all been for the bet
ter until it now looks like the top notch
had been reached in equestrian, acro
batic and clown stunts.
As I sat by the ringside yesterday
afternoon and watched the various
stunts I marveled that riders could be
so expert, that horses could be so well
trained, that elephants and seals and
monkeys and baboons could develop the
intelligence shown by those in the ring
of the John Robinson circus.
I wonder what Old John would have
thought if somebody had told him dur
ing the Civil War that at a day but a
little more than half a century later a
show bearing his name would require
80 cars, four full railway trains, to
carry it from point to point? That is
exactly true of the John Robinson show
out on the Vaughn-street grounds.
Expense Is $25,0OO a Week.
Going even further than that -I won
der what Old John, perhaps he was
Young John then, would have said if
some person had told him that a show
bearing his name and run at an ex
pense of $25,000 a week, carrying more
than 900, would be traveling over the
country in the future? I do not think
John, whether old or young, would have
believed it. Why, at 25 cents a seat,
the old-time price, they would have had
to have nearly 100,000 auditors a week
and the big tops of those days would
not begin to hold them.
The circus of today is Just one great,
big, homogenous, happy family. All of
those who are really circus people,
leaving out the mere laborers who are
as nomadic as the ordinary shiftless
wandering laborer, are in their be
havior simply ladies and gentlemen,
- towards each other and towards the
public. They are as kind to one an
other as your mother was to her little
boy or girl, or as your father was to
his best neighbor. Nothing else is
k tolerated.
Coatello la Famoiu Name.
I wish I might go further into this
matter of the circus family. If you will
go out to the Vaughn-street grounds
this afternoon or tonight you will see
the names of Air. and Mrs. Costello on
the programme. I do not think I have
been to a first-class circus perform
ance in the course of the last 60 years
that there was not a Costello on the
bill. Why, there are people, many of
them, in the circus business now who
can trace their circus progenitors three,
four and even five generations. Once
you become a member of the circus
family your life work is marked out
for you, and ten to one your children,
lr you rear any, will follow in your
footsteps.
Many of the Portland people will re
member that six years ago at our Rose
Festival a lady by the name of Madame
Beldini rode a wonderful black horse in
the equestrian parade and carried off
the silver cup, the grand prize for the
best lady mount. That was the same
Madame Beldini who rode so well yes
terday in the ring, and whose mounts
were perhaps the best trained of any
ever shown in Portland. Indeed, it i:
well worth the cost and trouble of go
ing out to the circus to see the madarae
make her splendid DlacK charger go
letter-perfect" through the mazes of
the tango.
Thirty-One Clowns Provoke Laughs,
And Madame Beldini is a child of the
circus, as were her father and mother,
and their fathers and mothers, and so
on back for four generations. Then
there is her adopted daughter, almost
equally as good a rider as her foster
mother May Connors another child
of the circus, and a worthy one.
But I am not telling much of the
details of the John Robinson show,
which I suppose the editor intended for
me to do, for he told me to "cover" it.
well, they have 31 clowns, each one
funnier than the other. There are eight
little Japanese who do wondrous acro
batic, posing and balancing stunts.
"The riding is as good as any circus
ever had, and of the 300 horses, they are
entitled to the name of high school
equities. Madame Beldini carries "17
head, all of which she has trained her
self. She is said to be oneof-the best
trainers in the business. Her tango
animal shows that to be true.
As to the menagerie, it is better than
the rule, while the performing ele
phants are the best I ever saw.
