It is a huge show--the kind that parents and grandparents will remember attending when they were youngsters. Probably never again will such a spectacle visit this area, as inflation and the high cost of energy may soon spell the end for such a giant traveling enterprise. These increased costs have made it necessory for the last big tented show to reduce the length of its overnight trips, thus af­ fording some smaller communities an oppor­ tunity to see the same tremendous circus as plays in Denver, Milwaukee, Chicago, Akron, GIRLS AND ELEPHANTS spell circus. There are plenty of both with the Carson and Barnes 5-Ring Wild Animal Circus. The big show, billed as the world's largest tent circus," has herds of 25 elephants and they are joined by pretty girls in each of the five rings. Cleveland and Pittsburgh. It is un­ cut-- precisely the same show as seen in the bigger cities. Tickets will be on sale at the gate as late as showtimes. Midway attractions will be open one hour before each performance.
