they managed to fire the changes ON all
the local gags and the jokes.
"IIe would interpolate comic song now
and then and answer back II anyone asked
him a question. Il was hard work, but It
didn't begin with the work of the clown

Now it's action, something doin' and

a laugh as soon as people look at you. You
can't give 'em a chance to go home and
talk 1t over and come to some family de-
cision. No, sir-e-e.
80 our surest way is the makeup, for
the modern circus is too big to have talk
in. You wouldn't be heard. A clown has
to get up his own rig buy II or have 1t
made; then it belongs to him, and the value
of clown is oftentimes measured by the
amount of funny costumes he has in his
repertory.
Here at the Garden 1 suppose every clown
has four or five changes which he puts on
in the course of one show, never appearing
in the ring in the same gown. We don't
spend much time browsing about libraries
or Fifth averener auction rooms but some-
times we do get an idea from a cartoon,
and junk shops are our favorite hunting
ground. Anything funny that we see we
get and hang on
MANY Of the costumes are very expen-
sive, S35 or $40 maybe, and as they don't
last long the accumulation of this property
represents quite an item of expenditure
We do economize oftentimes by using one
years costume for the next seasons rainy
day suits. That's our only way of getting
anywhere near ahead of the game.
"And II you get funny idea be sure that
it will be copied right away. The flap feet
when they first came into the business
made a great hit, but the season wasn't
over before every clown in the country was

Every Saturday night in Clowns alley. as

''The isolation that has been thrust upon
us by herding us together in a dressing
