MEN WITH THE
CIRCUS ARE THE CLOWNS

Paradoxieally speaking, the brainiest
men with the circus are those who are
the most foolish. All of which is by
the way of saying that one of the
hardest Jobs of the circus is that of
being a clown. OF course, the natural
idea is that all a clown must do to
bring the laugh is just to "act funny" "
But it is in acting funny that the
brains are required. Hence the reason
that the forty clowns form one of the
chief items of expense in the heavy
payroll of the Sells-Floto Cireus and
Buffalo Bill (himself), which is to ex.
hibit in this city Thursday, May IA.
Once upon time it was easy for a
clown to be funny. He had his comic
song. he had his lines which could
reach every part of the small tent in
which the circus of the past held its
performance. But that day has passed.
The clown has no chance for words
now, no chance for songs or for jests.
In the Sells-Floto Circus this year the
great canvases cover eleven acres and
seat $4,000 persons. Only man with
the voice of steamship siren could
talk to an assemblage like that.
Therefore the clown of today must
be a pantomimist of extraordinary in
telligence. He must make his every
movement supply all that the voice
could add He must made of himself a
living carieature of the events Of the
day-fOr the old idea of a bismuth-
smelred face and ruff around the
neck has passed as standard of clown
dom.
And there's way of gaining an
idea of the worth Of these clowns of
the Sells Floto Circus. The parade,
which will come at 1880 O'Clock the
morning of the shows performance
here. And there is another feature Of
the parade that is worth while, for
as a special honor to this city Col
William F. Cody (Buffalo Bill himself
is to lead the glittefing two-mile spec
taee. Later he will hold a reception
for the children at the show grounds.
The price of admission this yearl
Well, everything about the circus has
been increased except that. The adj
mission remains the same, 25 cents.
