Carnival Opens With Clean Shows In Washington Tonight
Crowds filled the streets last night despite threatening weather to see the Great Parker Amusement Co. open its carnival. The company offered a clean, novel program headlined by a premier trained wild animal show praised as one of the best in the region and a full performance of Creation the Show Beautiful. The reviewer predicts the attractions will draw solid business and become the magnet of Parker Pike.
