BIG CIRCUS IS COMING
Norris & R0We Shows Will Exhibit in

In a review of the Greater Norris

hippodrome and congress of nations
which will exhibit in Dallas after
noon and night, Wednesday , May. 6,
Colgate Baker, the dramatic critic on
the San Francisco Chronicle, of Jan
uary 12 wrote : "The Greater Norris
and Rowe circus and hippodrome
began an Indefinite engagement at
the Auditorium yesterday and were
greeted by large and enthusiastic audi
ences. The development of the Norris
and Rowe circus has been progressing
rapidly, and the variety and scope of
the programme offered yesterday could
not be surpassed by any circus com
pany In this country. There are fif
teen display feature aots exhibited, as
well as scores of others, almost as
entertaining and of no less importance.
The menagerie has been enlarged to
formidable proportions, while the cos
tuming and ring management is first
class in every respect. So many good
things are presented that many visits
will be required to the big circus, If
one wishes to see all that is being pre
sented. They are today In the very
fore rank of the big circuses of this
country. It is doubtful If a better per
formance ot the kind has ever been
seen in San Francisco."
' During the run of the show in San
Francisco, which extended over a per
iod of thirty days, 279,873 persons paid
admission to see It. Their success in
San Francisco was tbe most signal
one ever achieved In the metropolis of
the west" The entire press of the city
was in accord in proclaiming it to be
the best circus ever given in the oity.
Tbe last skating party of tbe season,
given by the "Jolly 7" skating club at
