Harry Bolus
Harry Bolus has heard the call of the circus and when the summer days grow warm he will forsake the forge for the fascinations of the footlights. Mr. Bolus has spent much of his life on the road and claims the championship for buck and wing dancing which he won in Cincinnati. He has appeared many times at the Memorial, Casino and Orpheum so he is no stranger to theater goers of Mansfield. Mr. Bolus will be thoroughly equipped to take his show "The Fashion Plate" on the road. He has six wagons fitted up, some of which he built entirely himself. "The Fashion Plate" will be strictly vaudeville, will carry 25 people and give nine acts. The show will travel in wagons which will be drawn by 14 horses, and will show under a 60 foot tent. Mr. Bolus will take his show on the road about June 1st. for a tour of 16 weeks, starting in at Crestline. Some of his friends will charter cars and go to Crestline to witness the first performance. Mr. Bolus' father, Henry Bolus, who has many years experience on the road, will go along and will have charge of the horses. "The Fashion Plate" will give one performances each evening and will give no matinees unless special ones are put on, on Saturday.
