.101 l N KOBINSOX'S SHOW.
The Amusement Cioleomla of tlie
Peri ml.
More than seventy years of contin
uous ovation has characterized the
career of the John Robinson show,
which this season is reaching the proud
culmination of its triumphs. Noother
show in existence can display so con
tinuous and so clear a record. From
the cold waters of the Kenneltec to the
shores of the Pacific, from the north
ern boundaries of civilization to the
southern limits >f this continent, for
more than one generation has the name
of John Robinson been a household
word, and the comiug of the always un
exceptionable exhibitions 1 enterprisss
that bear his name is ever greeted with
a hearty welcome. From the genesis
of the show until its present colossal
perfection, there has not been a solitary
season in which it has not led its fellows
in the multiplicity and general excel
lence of its attractions, and now it
tower? nIKWe and dwarfs all cotempor
aneous tented exhibition?- in*} com
parative insignificance, and this season
it presents such an opulence of sterling
and meritorious attractions as to truly
entitle it to be designated as a vast
Amusement Golconda whose wondrous
wealth of entertainment is unlimited
and immeasurable. It is merely a
work of supererogation to say that his
circus has always l>een the best and
biggest, always in the van, always
prolific in leading aud sensational fea
tures, and always fully equipped with
the finest stud of horses and the most
skillful and finished bareback riders,
gymnasts and acrobats in the profes
sion: that his large, well-ordered and
well-selected menagerie contains living,
vigorous specimens of all that is
strange, rare and curious within the
range of natural history, and that his
royal Roman Hippodrome is a vivid and
realistic reproduction of that of the days
of imperial Ca sar.
It may l>e said, however, that to these
always prominent and desirable attrac
tions has been added, for the current
season, a feature so stupendous in mag
nitude, so overpowering in unprecedent
ed grandeur and impressiveness, and so
enormous in the expense necessary to
its production, that the features men
tioned, grand and multifarious as they
are, can at best play but a secondary
part. The grand biblical, historical,
sceneographic. lyric, terpsichorean and
pantomimic spectacle of "Solomon, his
Temple, and the Queen of Sheba."
is thus alluded to: A transcendently
impressive and eminently moral and
mind-elevating pageantic and scenic
production, from the fertile brain of Mr.
John Rettig. the projector aud creator
of "Romeunder Nero," "The Fall of
Babylon," "Montezuma" and "Bond
age in Egypt." noted spectacles
which been annually produced under
the auspices of ' the Order of Cincin-
and which have become famous
throughout the length and breadth of
the land. To claim that "Solomon,
his Temple and the Queen of Sheba"
is the masterpiece of this brilliant
artist is not transcending the limits of
veracity. There is not a sensual, libid
inous nor lascivious scene, act or
thought in the spectacle, and every
thing in the entire presentation is holy,
chaste and pure. The limits of a news
paper notice prevent mention in detail
of the manifold characteristics and ex
cellencies of this gorgeous ami imposing
spectacle, but the reader will find ex
haustive description in the bills, circu
lars and advertisements disseminated
broadcast by the management.
The Robinson show will exhibit at
Butler, Saturday, June 16.
