Julia Murdock Writes of Spanish
Clown Who Makes Millions Laugh

never skipped a day on account Of ILL
ness. and was never fussy, as many Of
the foreign artists are inclined to be.
The laughs that he has inspired run
way up into the billions, and this fact
Is all the more wonderful when 1t is
considered that Marceline has been a
clown but short time.
Venture Into Clown
Business Was Accident.
He comes from Spanish circus fam
lily. and was virtually raised on q
trapeze. But in his early manhood he
began to grow fat, and fat and trapeze
work do not go together. Having grown
a bit too robust for aerial work, Mar
celine took to ground gymnastics. but
even that made him pun laboriously.
His venture into the clown business was
one Of those accidents that often hap
pen. and which the theatrical producers
are fond Of imagining are the true
means of discovering talent as well as
public taste. 1t seems that Marceline
dressed up in evening clothes one night
when the company was playing one of
the German cities. He had slipped his
outer Clothing on over his circus tights
just for fun. and his feliow-performers
We're laughing at him when it came his
turn to go on In spirit of mischief
they prevent him from taking off his
dress suit, but he was just as much a
cut-up as they, and he took their joking
good-naturedly. He made his entry in
his dress suit. and instead of tumbling
about on the mat, he initiated the ring
master and the other athletes The
crowd under the big top as the circus
tent is called. howled with delight, and
that night Marceline was discovered.
