Robinson Show Draws Huge Crowds In Dusty Heat
The Robinson Shows attracted large Lafayette and Ray counties crowds on Thursday with two performances under the big top. A two-ring, one-platform circus impressed visitors with acts by the Japs, the Nelson family, trained elephants, seals, and an energetic band. The parade through Taubman s pasture drew throngs, the day hot and dusty, but attendance remained strong and the show was judged highly satisfactory despite modest aerial acts.
