Cetlin-Wilson Shows Offer New Features The Cetlin and Wilson Showe will gam exhibit at the JCemh.iw County 1 nt,*l week end the show is much improved in many respects with many new and novel attractions never before seen here. (Side shows are more numerous and of a higher caliber than in previous years and the riding .devices and amusement booths are also much improved, Among the many show features carried by this gigantic amusement company this year, which are the largest attractions of their kind ever to exhibit here are the European Novelty Circus Side Show and the Monkey Circus. * In the Circus Side Show will be found over a dozen freaks and curiosities imported from all parts o' the globe, the most novel of which is ( lara and LeRoy Converse, half man, half woman, born joined together in one body and alive. The question the public is unable to define is, "is she a he?" or "is he a she?" After you have seen her, your guess is as good as the. other fellow's. In the Monkey Circus there aie over fifty performing monkeys who pu?. on over a half hour's exhibition of feats and skill the same as those performed by human ber ings, such as looping-the-loop, trapeze performing, bicycle riding, menkey races and other feats too numerous to mention. Gene Nadreau's "The Streets of All Nations throughout the entire season has proved to be one of the most popular shows with the Cetlin and Wilson Caravan. In this large -tented theatre will be found singers and dancers from several parts of the world who play, sing and dance in their native manner. There are twelve people in Gene's company this year, all of whom are outstanding stars in their particular lines of endeavors. Gene Nadreau is an outstanding and well known producing manager in the outdoor show world and any production in this field with his name attached to it is a guarantee *o the public, that his show as in previous years with other tented organizations, is an extraordinary high class attraction. The Cetlin and Wilson Minstrels, as in the past, a real old Southern minstrel show, which proved so popular here last year, is again carried by them this year, with a complete change of all members of the performing personnel from last year, and new scenery, costumes, songs, dances and side-splitting, laugh-pros ducing, "slap stick" comedy by the half dozen colored comedians. There are twenty four people including the band with the minstrel show this year. The show has purchased a new Merry-Go-Round this year and several new ponies have been added to " "1? r wkioh. kai always proved so popular with the little folks. Besides these there are several kiddie rides enrried for the real little tots. Other new riding devices have also been added for the grown ups and larger boys and girls and there are eight in number carried this year, which with the fourteen feature-tented attractions will afford Kershaw county fair patrons an afternoon or evenings entertainment never before excelled h6re, in fact it will be practically impossible to visit all the midway attractions at one visit to the Fair.
