1T TAKES A WISE MAN
TO PLAY THE FOOL
IN A MODERN CIRCUS

at takes brains to play the fool. J"
So the equestrian director of the
Sells-Floto Shows said when asked
concerning clowns and clowning.
81 have been in the circus business
all my life and during that interest
ing period have, like an actor, played
many parts. | have made close
study of the profession and partic-
ularly the clown department, for
there is nothing to circus without
clown.
cit has come under my observation
that the brainest performers always
make the best clowns and produce
fun that is not onl Y wholesome, but
makes the man, no matter how dis
contented with the world, forget his
troubles temporarily and dissolve his
hardened features into a grin. When
you compare the actor with the clown
the latter has a handicap regarding
his methods and his facilities Of
bringing forth laughs.
"The other has the author to thank
nine times out of ten for some fat
part. Then, too, he is enabled to say
things that produce fun and which
are not his own. But take the man
behind the whitened face and he has
nothing to help him but his gestures,
his nimble legs and his art of so CON
torting his face as to bring forth
mirth. It's real work to make them
laugh without any aid whatsoever
excepting the few items | have men
toned. Furthermore, clown must
be born, he is not made or manu-
factured.
"For instance, take Alonzo, the
premier joey of the Sells-Floto
Shows, and De would be the last per-
son in the wolld you would pick out
as professional jester. He is the
soberest-appearing cuss You ever saw
on the street. Yet he has but to walk
from the dressing tent to the big show
and ! laugh There is something
about that stride that is funny, and
when he allows the toy balloon to get
away from hlm and sail through the
air crying after it, | have seen the
spectators almost fall off the seats
with laughter. Ont in Odgen, Utah,
| remember one old lady could hard
ly be stopped. Now, you let someone
else try that same little trick and it IS
not funny at all. "
All the funny clowns will be here
with Sells-Floto, May !.

It Takes
Nerve

Everything depends upon
your nerves. 1t is nerve force
that causes the brain to direct
the motion of your body; it is
nerve force that causes your
heart to pulsate, and send the
blood through your veins; it
is nerve force that causes your
stomach to digest food, your
kidneys to filter the blood, and
the liver to secrete bile.
In fact, nerve force is the
power that runs your body, SO
if YOU feel worn-out, irritable,
nervous, cannot sleep, or eat
well, have pain or misery
anywhere, your nerves are
weak, and your system run
down. To restore this vitality
take DR.. Miles Nervine which
will strengthen and build up
the nerves. You cannot be
healthy without strong nerves.
For eighteen years DR.. Miles
Nervine and Anti-Pain Pills have been
my close companions. Early. In mar
r,ed life while raising children, my
nerves became all worn -out-could not
sleep; had no appetite; Indigestion
very bad. and had such awful dizzy
spells. Then began using DR.. Miles
Nervine. and at once / began to i'm
prove. and soon found myself In
perfect health"
