Alber’s Bears

Location:
Theater:
Date:
Type:
10 white Polar Bears. Trainer and two assistants, large iron cage and bears work inside, cage taken up whole stage. Good act bears work fine, think its as good an animal act as any that has played Pawtucket, probably ladies are a little timid about it as I noticed several left their seats during the act. 15 minutes, went big.
