WINTER QUARTERS
FOR CIRCUS HERE
John Robinson Shows Seek a
Suitable Phoe; Tulsa Will
Make a Bid.
FAIRGROUNDS MENTIONED
Four Hundred Horses, Many
Wild Animals and Army of
Workmen Need Space.
Tul.sa usually gets what she goes
after.
Kight now the city of wonderful
growth Is endeavoring to secure the
permanent winter quartern of the big
John Koblnson circus una" tentative
plans are being made by a special
Chamber of Commerce committee,
headed by C.lenn Condon, which was
appointed ye.-iterd:iv afternoon by Sec
retary C. H. Douglas. .
The John Itoblnson circus, which is
one of the three largest traveling
tented amusement enterprises in the
I'nited States, is seeking a suitable
location 'or quarters. Negotiations
are pending with Hot Sprint?. Pine
Itluff and Little Hock and with com
mercial organizations In Dallas,
Texas, and Richmond, Va. These
cities have offered some inducements
to the circus owners but Tulsa be
lieves she can beat them all and not
half try.
Iiilect Site Tomorrow.
The John Robinson circus is sched
uled to exhibit in this city Friday
I'nd the proprietors of the enterprise
will bo here to confer with Condon
and to view the Free Fair (irounds
where it is proposed to locate the
show, should present plans be con
Mimmated. The circus men will be
shown beyond the shadow of a doubt
tlint there Is no other, city In the
world so well adapted for their quar
ters as Is Tulsa.
As Is well known the show Is the
oldest in the world. It was organ
ised ninety-three years ago In I'tica,
N. Y., and has been traveling continu
ously ever since. It Is now trans
ported on three trains of cars. In
1824 five wuKotia carried the entire
outfit of the show. Since the early
forties and until two years ago the
permanent quarters of the show have
been located at Terrace l'ark. near
Cincinnati, Ohio. The buildings
there are old and Insecure and two
seasons ago the circus management
moved for the winter to the Amerl
cus, Cia., fair grounds. These grounds
were used again last winter but can
not be secured for the coining win
ter months because part of the land,
covered by some of the buildings,
has been sold.
"We are now a big show without a
home," says Herbert S. Maddy, a rep
resentative of the circus, who is in
Tulsa to consult with the Chamber of
Commerce committee. "Our season
will close about the middle of No
vember and we must speedily secure
a place suitable 'or the winter
months.
"Tulsa looks mighty good to me
and If my bosses view the city In the
same light, when they come in with
the circus Friday, I believe a satis
factory deal can be m- We will
Inspect the buildings at ...e Free Fair
Grounds and see whether or not they
can be adapted for winter quarters.
Might Have Winter Zoo.
"We will need stable room for over
four hundred horses and must have
good buildings for our cat animals,
deer, elephants, camels and birds and
monkeys. Wo must also have build
ings fur our wagon and car making
departments, our seat department,
lights, harness and painting. All of
our many wagons and cages are
painted every winter. We will need
a small hotel for our men and barns
that can be made Into training quar
ters for horses and elephants.
"The circus spends thousands of
dollars during the winter months out
flting for the coining season and we
must locate In a place where we can
have the advantage of wholesale
prices. We must also locate where
feed for our animals and stock can
easily bo secured. Fuel is unite in
' Item with us and I understand Tulsa
lias a natural gas rate that Is second
to none In the state."
PRETTY COMEDY

"When We Were 21" Follows
"Alias Jimmy Valentine"

ALL CHILDREN LOVE
"SYRUP OF FIGS" FOR
LIVER AND BOWELS
Give it when feverish, cross,
bilious, for bad breath or
sour stomach.
I-ook at the tongue. Mother! If
coated, it Is a sure sign that your
little one's stomach, liver and bowels
need a gentle, thorough cleansing at
once.
When peevish, Truss, listless, pale,
doesn't sleep, doesn't eat or act natu
rally, or Is feverish, stomach sour,
breath bad; has stomach-ache, sore
throat, diarrhoea, full of cold, give a
teaspoonful of "California Syrup of
Figs." and in a few hours all the loui
constipated waste, undigested food
and sour bile gentyl moves out of its
little bowels without griping, and you
have a well, playful child again.
You needn't roax sick children to
take this harmless "fruit laxative;"
they love its delirious taste, and It
always makes them reel splendid.
Ask your druggist for a 50-rent not
tle of "Califi-onia Syrup of Figs,"
which has directions for babies, enil
dren of all uges and for grown-ups
plainly on the bottle, lleware of coun
terfeits sold here. To be sure you get
the genuine, ask to see that it is made
by "California Fig Syrup Company."
Refuse any other kind with contempt,

As a chango from the crook play.
'Alias Jimmy Valentine," a delightful
comedy-drama of English life, namely,
"When We Were 21." will he the new
attraction at the Orand, starting with
Viday's matinee. There will also be a
Saturday matinee and the evenins
performances tonight, Friday and Sat
urday. Tulsans have witnessed in the past
four days the opening performances
of the Incomparable (Jrand Stock
company, undoubtedly the highest
class stock organisation ever seen In
the state. Not only are the perform
ers real artists, hut the scenic produe
'lon ami every detull are on a par
with the road attractions that are
seen at the Grand each year. Theater
goers have already become endeared
to Cliff Hastings and Miss F.Ila Kra
mer, leading man and woman ot toe
company, and the other members of
the company have their foilowlngs,
too. The success of the enterprise is
assured. The enthusiasm and s:r.e 01
the audiences at each performance
give ample testimony of that fact,
love S-cni's and Laughs.
In "Jimmy Valentine" you saw
crooks and detectives, ami got a
elimpsc of prison life. In "When Wm
Wero 21" you will se a bill entirely
different. There Is a story an ap
pealing one and lots of love seem .
and a wealth of delightful, quaint
comedy, with situations calculated to
tickle the risibility of the most digni
fied. The play Is by II. V. Ksmond and
Is produced here under the direction
of Harry F. Vlckery, by arrangement
with the American I'.ay company.
The first three acts are bill in tin;
rooms of the young man who Is toe
central figure in the plot. The last
act Is a sitting room in the apart
ments of an Interesting young woman
nicknamed "The Firefly." The fur
nishings for these acts come fr-uii a
prominent local furniture store and
are tiie very last work In that line.
Mr. Hastings will play the part of
"Richard t'arew," while Miss Kramer
will have the hole of "Phyllis l-.ric-son."
Harry F. Yickery will be at his
best as ".Sir Horace I'iumlev, Hart,"
otherwise known as "Waddles." The
part of Kara Clyncsk. "The Firefly,"
will be played by Miss Adelaide Mei
nolte. Tlit r are many other odd
characters.
The fact that every seat at the
Grand is reserved for both matinees
and night shows makes it possible f-'r
patrons to call up In advance and
have their scats laid aside. It Isn't
often that one can have a matinee
seat re-erved t"r 10 or 20 c-nts and
I then see a show such as those at the
I Grand, but that is Just what Is being
done this season.
I ltett-r Than i:cetel.
"The business this week has cx
! ceeded mir expectations," said I.. K.
Powell, manager or the Grand, last
night, "and the fact that it increases
with each performance indicates tnai
I the public Is pleased. We are striv
j ing to give them more than their
money's worth all the time and I am
sure they appreciate It, Judging from
i the number of verbal expressions I
j hear every day."
The Grand box office is open all
day. Hc-ser. atlons for today's matinee
! or tonight's performance should be
i made before noon if possible .as most
I of the choice seals are usually gone by
12 o'clock each day.

miscellaneous camp purposes. The
rate at this, camp Is now reduced to

exploitation of women worici-rs in

with the recent strike of Paris nudin

establishments, despite their uur
prices, continue to pay thci M witig
