Pictorium Burned During John Robinson Circus Visit

Fire destroyed the Pictorium and tent after an electric wire sparked aboard the John Robinson Circus during a last Friday performance. The blaze engulfed the operating route, front of the tent, and stage, with no ambulance available and total loss of the tent, seats, and props. B A Mathew, proprietor, faces heavy legal consequences. The circus, in its eighty sixth season under John Robinson, promised top acts and novelty, drawing crowds for the annual tour. Mrs M I Pease and daughters accompanied the troupe, with Misses Pease and Miss Pease visiting the Robinsons as the circuit prepared to resume July 28 at the University of Michigan. An attractive poster line and billboards herald the summer return of the show.
