Ringling Brothers to merge with Hagenbeck show
Five Ringling Brothers participate with John M. Havlin and Manager Williams in a merger deal with Hagenbeck interests. George Middleton helped promote the plan. Havlin says the new show will surpass prior American tours and be highly successful. The Hagenbeck show, capitalized at 500000, will yield the Ringlings a bit over half for control. The merged outfit will wind up the Texas season, then perform in New Orleans and Columbus before winter quarters, with plans for a single combined tour next season.
