HAGENBECK-WALLACE CIRCUS MOVING PICTURES
Mr. G. BOYCE, whose name has been familiar for years to readers of the Opera House Reporter, was in Webster City last week with the Spectacular Hagenbeck – Wallace films. These films are taking like wild fire wherever shown. Of course, there's a reason. When the real circus comes to town most of us see only the ring performance. One may go to the BOYCE show and be a boy again. -- See the bill poster gangs at work, watch the long trains unload, go through the cook and dining tents, into the blacksmith shop, see the tents erected, in fact see the circus from every conceivable viewpoint, including a seat in the reserved section from which to review the ring performance. The films are especially clear and distinct. The ring performance has been taken from a special performance put on in the open without the big tent up, which helps much to make the films high grade. There are four reels; enough to show in detail all one cares to see.
The writer of this column has no hesitancy in recommending the Hagenback-Wallace films. They make up an ideal and unusually delightful evening at a motion picture theatre. Mr. Boyce, too, lectures them as he goes along so that those unsophisticated in the details of the circus business are never at loss to know what they are looking at. Mr. BOYCE has the state rights for Iowa and Nebraska. These films ought to prove a novel advertisement for the Hagenbeck-Wallace circus and the show itself is also a great puller for the motion picture show. —Opera House Reporter. by Webster City correspondent. These pictures will be shown at the Hupp Theatre on Wednesday, March 11.
