 In his paimy days-not a great many years ago-Gillette performed feats in the saWdust circle that hundreds of performers have since attemrted to duplicate without success Hls most wonderful exhibition was q "doullc" from feet to feet. Hundreds have since attempted to master this trick, hut not since Gillette's retirement has it ever been done.
 Mr. Gillette was the man who intro duced ceiling walking into the United States. For several years he haffled even his brother performers Inv this trick It is well known now. however, that it was accomplished with the use of rubber suction shoes. but for many years, Gillette was heralded throuehout the United States as the man who performed the impossible"
