THE LAST ACT

The fall circus on Soldiers Field has presented this year a series of performances that would be a credit to Barnum and Bailey. The program was opened by some tumbling followed by an exciting wrestling match. Then with a blare of trumpets came the pageantry of the "Praying Colonels" and after them the war dance of the Lost Tribe re-discovered. Up from the south came the Alligators, hardly disposed of when the Tiger sprang into the arena, dieted on raw beef so long that all efforts to tame him were unsuccessful.

Today the show at Cambridge closes with the Bear-baiting for which the audience is always expectant. Advance press agents have written of famous cases in the past where the Bear has run amuck and clawed the boys in the front row. They have also promised that today's Bear is unusually ferocious and his claws unusually sharp. Still the audience is curious and, suppressing all fears, is anxious to see the show out. And there will be plenty of applause to welcome the Bear.
