thanks to Mile. Pillar NORM, Anne
Lachaume, Vance Thompson, and
others, a little story was told to me
the other day by a girl who played
with Pierrot in France some eight
years ago. She was just a clowns
assistant. the butt of his jokes. It
was her duty to get in everybody's
way. It was at the Hippodrome. A
female acrobat, who, it was said, was

the edge of the net. Several
times the performer called to
Pierrot paid no attention. He was
paid to act as a small edition to a
clown Pierrot was 10 years old and
not used to grewsome confessions. so
when the flying trapeze lady. with
glowing eyes and crimson cheeks,
slid down the rope. seized him by
both shoulders, and thrust him before
her to her dressingroom, he cried.
