Will Arrive Sunday to Show In Dubuque for Week Dubuque is going to have a week of real outdoor amusements, as the Morris and Castle Shows are billed to occupy the Brunswick show grounds for six days and nights, commencing Monday, June 29. Forty double-length circus cars of attractions, shows and riding de vices will occupy the Brunswick show grounds, meaning that eigh teen attractions and ten major type riding devices will be erected, con verting this field into a regular “Coney Island.” Dubuque is the on ly town in the state of Iowa that this show exhibits in this year on its way to its circuit af fairs. According to the show's assistant manager who is in the city in ad vance of the show, which is sched uled to arrive in Dubuque Sunday afternoon around 5 o'clock, this year the show is carrying a great feature of box-office attraction in the form of Clarence L. Kehr, Jr., the wonder child of Toledo, Ohio. “Junior” is the little 6-year-old child, who since the age of three years, has been pronounced by scientists all over the country who have examined him to be fully ma tured, with the intelligence of a man 19 or 20. Clarence is also forced to shave at least twice weekly, can lift any person up to the weight of 250 pounds, push an auto down the Street, and smokes black cigars and pipes, preferring them to ice cream, candy and sweets. As an innovation this year, the Morris and Castle Shows are giving free riding device tickets with main gate admission tickets.
