Barnum & Bailey Circus at Salem. 
_ The Barnum and Bailey Greatest 
Show on Earth and newly added 
Spectacle of ‘‘Cleopatra’’ will ex- 
hibit in Salem, on June 19. The 
spectacle in itself is an attraction 
that should fill the big tent at each 
erformance and draw _ thousands 
f visitors from the surrounding 
listricts. It is beyond question the 
reatest production of its kind ever 
seen in America. 
The word’s most skillful scenic 
artists, costumers, property build- 
ers, chorus directors and stage man- 
agers were engaged to mount the 
production. A stage bigger than a 
hundred ordinary theatres was 
built and made portable so that it 
ean be conveyed from town to town 
nd erected each day in the main 
ent. The circus proprietors have 
thus made it possible for those who 
live in contributory towns, even 
mers and their families, to see 
®@ magnificent wordless play that 
is an immense attraction in the larg- 
est cities. 
f 1,250 actors, a grand _ opera 
horus, an orchestra of 100 soloists, 
ballet of 350 dancing girls, 650 
rses, five herds of elephants, cara- 
ims of camels, and a trainload of 
special devices, costumes, and scen- 
ery and electrical mechanism for 
producing such effects as lightning, 
hunder, sand storms on the desert, 
voleanoes in action, sunrise, floods, 
ind mirages. 
‘The realism of the scenery is per- 
fect. It is as though the audience 
was looking into the streets of 
Alexandria in the day of Ptolemys.

The streets throb with their strange 
cosmopolitan life. In the middle dis- 
tance flows the Nile, the mighty 
pyramids and the sphinx looking 
down from past ages. Beyond them 
stretch endless wastes of sand. The 
laureats of a dead race speak from 
forgotten tombs. The walls of Time 
fall down, and we see the court of 
Cleopatra during its years of ex- 
travagance and revelry, and hear 
the story of the betrayal of Rome 
and the undoing of Mare Anthony, 
told in a vividly realistic way. The 
incidental music was arranged by 
Faltis Effendi, late bandmaster of 
the Khedive of Egypt. The ballet- 
is under the direction of Ottokar
