Sensational Act at Krug Park

The Mediator

Omaha, Nebraska, July 18, 1919

     One of the most unusual and sensational acts is the free attraction at Krug park the coming week, the Three Val Danos, in their flying aeroplane and perch novelty sensation. It is said to be the greatest piece of mechanical ingenuity ever conceived in the mind of men.

     These death defying artists fly through space at amazing speed – whirling and spinning – the lady in the aeroplane – the other two artists on the swinging perch performing the most hair raising and unusual exhibitions.

     The action of the device is operated by electricity and propelled by the lady in the aeroplane, the crane revolving at terrific momentum.

     The past week has been one of unusual crowds every day and evening at the park. The new bathing pool, with its pure sterilized water, sand beach and other conveniences has proven to be a great attraction, being taxed almost to capacity daily.
