When the big show comes to town, Sarah takes all her savings and goes to the circus grounds. When she sees Rudolph Ringtail, the owner of the show, she faints right into his arms and murmurs "Yes" to his unspoken question. Rudolph had previously seen Sarah stuff a stout pocketbook into her stocking, so he does not mind. He calls a convenient minister, and the two are made one. "And now, dearie, a little something to tip the minister," he prompts her. She hands out her bag. In it is a choice collection of powder puff, buttons, samples, a piece of gum, but no money. Rudolph all but faints when Sarah tells him that she spent all her money. However, the show must go on, so he determines to make use of his bride. Elvira, the Bareback queen, is sick, and Sarah has to take her place. Sarah, in powder-puff skirts and tights, is a riot, but the only trouble is that the crowd mistakes her for a new clown. Things look pretty bad, when a disgruntled employee hitches the elephant to the big top, and the animal pulls the whole show away by main force. "At least, we have each other, darling," says Sarah but Rudolph goes into melancholy madness on the spot. Written by Moving Picture World, September 22, 1917 See less
