HANDLERS AND MILLS
Use TRAINED HATS
COmedians With "Flo-F1o" Say
Patience Is Needed to Tame
the Derby.

Spectators whose risibilities will be
tickled by the antics of the agile
hats figuring so largely in the per-
formance of Handlers e. Mills. the &C.
centric comedians in John Cort's mu-
sical comedy, "F'lo Flo" at the Ma
tional this week. will doubtless in
dulge in much speculation as to how
their owners have acquired such
splendid control over their move
ments.
They operate with machine-like
precision and accomplish all sorts of
amazing feats with a dexterity that
impresses the onlookers with the
idea that they are performing their
natural function. That is, until he
tries to duplicate the stunts. Then he
finds that the ordinary hat of COM
merce rebels at even che suggestion
OF circus maneuvers, preferring to do
all its performing on windy day
and muddy pavement.
The hats employed so skillfully by
Handlers e. Mills are plain ordinary
derbies. They contain neither hidden
springs, CONFERENCE.-The. nor rein
forcements of any kind. The direction
OF their movements is the result of
years of experimenting and constant
practice. The comedians themselves
are authority for the statement that
anybody can acquire the knack If
willing to concentrate and mobilize
all his powers of patience.
