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. '
