Wallace's Circus Has Great Ensemble of Clowns

1905

Buster Brown, Alphonse, Gaston, Happy Hooligan and Foxy Grandpa would certainly make a great quintet, at least, so B. E. Wallace says, and he backs his opinion by paying five notorious mischief-makers a large sum to travel with the Great Wallace Show.

These grotesque characters have been impersonated on the stage with very satisfactory results. A great deal better opportunity will be given them to display their eccentric dispositions on the ten-acre exhibition grounds of the Wallace circus. Happy Hooligan and Foxy Grandpa will be conspicuous about the Wallace tents this year, and with Alphonse and Gaston, and thirty-five other jesters, to assist them in as ostrich hunt in South Africa, a very funny time is expected.

The South African ostrich hunt will, for convenience, take place on the great hippodrome track of the Wallace Show, and it will prove to be the most comical burlesque ever seen under canvas. Then Little Buster Brown and his "pup" have a lot of funny stunts along with the jolly crowd of other funny clowns.

The Wallace Show will certainly furnish plenty of genuine and innocent fun for the patrons of that circus when it exhibits at Fort Wayne on Wednesday, September 13.
