SELLS-FLOTO CIRCUS
HERE OBER 13TH
After the bumping rattle of the
'careening after the final
I flare of the band; after the machine
gun clatter of thousands of blue seat
planks when “fearin’ down” in the
big top begins—what of the perform
ers? How do they shed their spang
les, don street clothes and get to bed 7
How do the circus performers ever
get any rest, anyway, when the last
we see of them is a sort of impres
sionistic picture of pink and white
clad figures swept into an inferno
of flaring forces, straining teams,
shoutin’ drivers and darkness?
Os course, we know that they man
age it all some way, for does not the
circus come to town with the dawn
and th e performers with it, just as
they will be with Sells-Floto Circus
when it rolls into Americus next Sat
urady.
As a matter of fact, there is an
oasis in the confusion on leaves on
the circus grounds after the show.
The oasis is the dressing-room tent.
There the performers have ample
time to change, lock their trunks and
hop a car for the railroad sidings,
where a long row of flickering torch
es marks the vestibules of the sleep
ers. Perhaps that quiet couple hang
ing on straps in the street car next
to you gave you a big thrill in the
“big top” not an hour ago. Perhaps
that neighborly looking family across
the aisle smiled up at you and your
friends from the backs of the leap
ing horses earlier in the evening, for
some of the performers will get away
from the “lot” before others.
Over wher the torches gleam their
guidances to the Pullmans, little
groups of chatting folks are as
sembling. There is friendly raillery;
there is friendly gossip—but just
friendly gossip; there is very little
shop talk. Families stroll by ex
changing pleasantries and go on into
their sleepers, for the circus children
must have their rest. Little parties
may form and hurry for a foray on
some luncheon, but in the main, the
groups by the vestibules linger only
to converse before entering their,
staterooms and berths. It is all very
like a family pausing on a veranda
to say a few more words after aris
ing from porch swings and wicker
chairs. But for the torches, the pass
ing of the strings of ring horses, the
shouts of men in the distance where
other lights flare, the rumble of
wagons ascending runways, the creak
of brakes and blocks, it might be just
such a summer night’s gathering.
And it is a family gathering in a
larger and broader sense. The peo- i
pie with the circus take a pride in re
ferring to themselves as “one big
family.” And it is not strange that
they should do so. They are a peo
ple apart. Their loyalty is to Sells-
Floto; their work is for the glory of
Sells-Floto. In short, they live by
the circus and for the circus. Natural
ly, they are drawn close together, and
during the season, more
than friends to each other. They are
the Sells-Floto family. From H. B.
Gentry, president and general man
ager, down to the littlest tot J.ey of
the tribe of Sells-Fluto.
