combined circus.”

Since ‘the days when
Phillip. Astley formed the
first modern-day circus in
London, England, in 1769,
no circus has considered
itself complete without the
presentation of thorough-
bred horsemanship, and of
all equestrian acts, none
offers more thrills, spills,
grace and excitement than
a bareback riding troupe.
The Loyal-Repinski
Troupe of bareback riders
is no exception. The fifth
generation of a circus
family that traces its roots
back to northern Italy, this
youthful group promises to
astound both young and
old alike = when . they

Great American Combined
Circus on Saturday, May
21 in Dallas, Pa.
Sad to say, however, the
high cost of present-day
road transportation has
meant that fewer and
fewer of the large bare-
back riding teams are still
on tour. Circusgoers who
are lucky enough to see
the fast-paced trick riding
display under the big top
at Dallas Township Ath-
letic Field will thus experi-
ence a display of horse-
manship not likely to be
seen again.
Adding to the atmos-
phere is that the Circus
presents its performances
under an old-time circus
big top tent, one of less
than a dozen that still
travels the roads of North
America.
For Allen C. Hill, Pro-
ducer of the Hoxie Bros. &
Great American Circus, it
is acts such as the Loyal
Repinski Troupe that
make his own dream come
true to preserve the tradi-
tional American circus.
“The Hoxie Bros. & Great
American Circus provides
the very essence of
Circus”, says Hill, ‘a few
magical hoursgof dazzling
marvels, romance and
incomparable. entertain-
ment that materializes
mysteriously in a country
town or suburb, and is
gone just as mysteriously
with the next morning’s
light.”
In addition to the Loyal
Repinski riding act, show-
goers: will see a herd of
elephants, trained dogs
and ponies, wacky clowns,
jugglers, acrobats, and a
hair-raising stunt in which
a pretty « girl drinks tea
while suspended mid-air
by her hair.
“This is a real old-fash-
ioned circus like our
Grandparents knew’’ says
the Kiwanis Club of Dallas
who are presenting the
circus as a community
project.
Best yet, the Hoxie Bros.
& Great American Circus
might also be the great
American family enter-
tainment bargain. Chil-
dren’s tickets are just
$3.50 and adults are $4.50.
There are no reserved
seats inside the Big Top.
The midway ropens one
hour before showtime.
Shows are at 2 p.m. and
