A circus parade is passing the house preliminary to the big show that afternoon in the town. Baby Early knew it was going to take place, and, unfortunately, her father was not like other fathers, and detested the circus himself, so that the old adage of taking the kids to the circus did not appeal to him. Consequently Baby Early decided that she would have a circus of her own, and straightaway scampered for the back fence to call on the neighbors' kids. When they learned the glad tidings each went for his own makeup, and the circus was staged in Early's back yard. Ted, Early's brother, said he would get Murphy's goat, and straightaway climbed through the hole in the fence into the next yard and came back with the first animal for the grand zoo. Incidentally Murphy did not know anything about it. Each of the kids brought a costume. Edith robbed the clothes line of her mother's shirtwaist and duck skirt, Tommy brought his father's dress suit and very best tie, while Early appeared in a costume suggesting a beautiful movie queen, bowing to her audience as though she were appearing on the screen. Two of the boys constructed a very primitive looking elephant, and straightaway named him Nero. With the aid of pillows and an old gingham wrapper a very satisfactory fat lady was constructed, while a feather duster contributed largely to the bearded lady. The wild man of Borneo, Bosco, the dog-faced boy, the three-legged calf, the living skeleton, lions, tigers, hyenas, giraffes, all in grotesque caricatures of themselves, formed the mammoth street parade behind Willie, with the dish-pan drum. It certainly was a big show and might have lasted until all the tots became tired had not Willie become peeved at Ted's attentions to Baby Early and gone into the big tent to sulk. Not content with that, he brought a calamity upon the whole outfit when he sneaked out and told Murphy that his goat was being maltreated and degraded into a circus prop. Murphy, highly indignant, brought the cop, and he furnished a grand finale to the proceedings. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
