Senorita Josephine, the greatest
of all the snake trainers!
Senorita Josephine and what
she’s wearing around her neck is
a baby boa constrictor. I say a
baby because ladies and
gentlemen the snake that she is
wearing around her neck is only
a baby in size.
However, this afternoon you will
see the senorita exhibit large
snakes some as long as 20 feet
in length and as big around as a
human’s body.
The Senorita Josephine exhibit
all non poisonous snakes and
they come from the constriction
family where they kill their
prey by crushing the object to
death.
However, [if] senorita Josephine
did not have this snake under
perfect control at all times it
would do her bodily harm in less
time than it would take for me
to tell you.
Senorita Josephine is just one
of the 16 big acts of the 33
people that Ringling brothers
and Barnum and Bailey’s combined
big circus side show are
presenting here this afternoon.
Ladies and gentlemen, we feel
that our show is large and our
show is self explanatory. We ask
you to look at the (pictorial?)
pictures on each side of that
center doorway.
Read the names above the
pictures and the captions below,
it tells you who these people
are and what they do in the
greatest side show on earth.
But just a minute there is one
person I want to bring to your
attention and that is Johan
Peterson that Viking giant from
Iceland, why he stands and he
towers above all man kind!
He stands eight feet eight
inches tall weighs 425 pounds
and without stretched arms
measuring from finger tip to
finger tip 109 inches! He is the
tallest man on the face of the
earth and today our theme is the
tallest man in the world, the
smallest and tiniest person on
the face of the earth, the
fattest of all fat people and
the thinnest man alive, yes it’s

Bailey’s combined big circus
