laughter and nerves tingle with de-
light, the body Of the once famous
clown will be laid to rest in Wood
lawn cemetery.
Professionally DeVoe was known
as Marceline. He first came into
the limelight II years ago. He had
been engaged by B. r. Wallace to ap
pear with the Hagenbeck- Wallace
circus. Frederick Thompson, the
theatrical man, through an agent

pear at the Hippodrome. For the
first time in his life, Mr.. Wallace
secured an Injunction to keep DeVoe
from appearing in the Hippodrome
The case was fought through sew
eral courts and finally decided by
the United States Supreme court.
