The World Champion Captain Show at the Electric Theatre
A vivid 1900s era carnival bill touts CAPT STANLEY the champion diver from a hundred foot tower into shallow water. It promotes the Big Ferris Wheel, aerialists, a statue come to life, fires Mt Pelee eruption displays, exotic acts, and a Georgian Military Band with the Americus Elks backing attractions described as suitable for families with a notable Country Store selling wide goods.
