BLOSS’ GREAT MORAL EQUESTRIAN SPECTACLE.
“Cert. But suthin must be left to the imagginashen. Realism is all well enough, but it kin be carried too fur. The children will all rush out and the eatin will be supposed to have taken place outside. I can’t afford to feed them bears on children every afternoon and evenin'. It would draw, no doubt, but I couldn’t afford sich a luxury. But the spectacle will draw. It will fetch the religious people. They disapprove of the circus, as a rool, but they will all come to see a great moral lesson, illustrated. To see this great moral lesson, they will come early so as to get good seats, and when it is over they won’t go till the show is out. To accommodate their prejoodisses and give ’em the hull show I shel hev it put on the last thing, for once in they won’t leave till they see the moral spectacle. To see this they’ll shock theirselves with Mademoiselle Blanche on the tight rope, in tights. You’ve got to have a moral show, and these bears will lay over anything on the road, becoz it’s not only moral, but it’s actilly scriptooral. I’m after a lot uv attracshens here. There’s a sword swallerer that I think I kin git, and I know uv a lot uv the loveliest anacondas that ever went under a canvas.”
