A ShOwman's RecOllectiens of Fa-
nous Circus clowns.

Not long since western paper pub
lished little interview with a circus
clown, in which he was made to say:
give heard it said that great actors are
born, not made. 1t isn't that way with
clowns. They make clowns, and |
never knew one that was born that
way" And again: Every show has
several boys in training. Whenever it
happens that one of these boys dis
plays any ability as a mimic. they put
him down for clown, and then a
clown is made, whether he wants to be
or not"
When Frank Il hittaker read that,
he shook his head gravely in gentle
but decided denial, and said softly in
soliloquy: mo, no, my son; you are
wrong"
What Frank Whitaker does not
know about circuses and all sorts OF
circus performers in this country, with
in the past fifty years, nobody knows,
and it would not be worth while to try
to find out. "The young man means
well, no doubt" said he, "and talks ac-
cording to his lights. Perhaps he was
made clown by teaching, but the best
are made by nature. Of all the IA
nous old-time clowns that | knew, only
two could be said to have been taught
to be clowns. All the others were nat
uraliy funny men and the originators
of fun, ard even those two must have
had bent in that direction or else
they never could have achieved any
distinction in the business. Any per-

will 20 ON some day to try what he can
do with the public, either to satisfy his
own curiosity or at the request Of the
management, or perhaps to take the
place of regular clown who may be
absent.
s'But to talk of training boy to be a
clown, whether be will or not. | never
heard Of such thing. You might as
well talk of making a man a singer
when nature has gifted him with neith-
er voice nor ear for music, A natural
w funny man has got to be funny
whether he will or not. | remember
John E. Owens when he was a super
numerary, and how he used to make
the ether 'supes' and people about the
stage laugh. He developed into COM
edian, but he m ght just as well become
a clown, and if he had he would have
been good one. There have been
hundreds of people who painted their
faces and put on comic costumes and
called themselves clowns, but they all
lived sort of Jonah's gourd existence
going down as rapidly as they came up.
The first great clown that l recolect
was Archy Madden, in the old Mount
Pit circus. at the corner of Grand and
Pitt streets. He was comic singer, a
fair lumber, medium still vaulter,
could run and vault, rode two horses,
and would keep people in a roar with
his clownish ways. 'Old Skent' was the
name he was popular known BY can
not say why-and he was great favor

used to pack the house at his benefits
always, rain or shine. Maj. General
Sanford, who was part owner of the
Lafayette amphitheater, was particu-
lar friend of his, and one time Archie
