The Wallace circus employs nearly six hundred, with a work culture that emphasizes ample meals and rest. Canvasmen, hostlers, property men, and the brass band keep busy yet enjoy daily downtime. Musicians rehearse almost daily under Professor Bronson, while performers constantly seek new tricks driven by ambition. The show arrives at Rock Island, inviting Sunday visitors to learn why it is famed for vigor and snap.
