After all, what hope is there for
fat folks?
Exercise is the solution" says
one. Eat less;" advises another.
Keep to the open air. suggests q
third.
And in the face of all these
rules, Lily Leitzel, who twice
daily gyrates with pin-wheel speed
near the roof of the circus big
top; who spends fourteen hours
out of every twenty-four In the
open air, and who eats very little
compared with her activities, is
gradually gaining in weight.
Vacations are not responsible
for Miss Leitzel this spring re-
Joined the Ringing Brother anG

Immediately after closing an en-
tire winters engagement as the
star at Olympia, London. Less
strenuous exercise does not ex-
plain the phenomena for whereas
lis revolutions while suspended
in mid air was Miss Leitzels rec
ord in England, she increased this
to 127 when the circus was at
Madison Square Garden this
spring. Herself asked the reason,
the worlds greatest woman aerial
list said:
"Fate-merely fate. It's just
meant that some folks take on
flesh. Oh, well. there's some con-
ISOLATION in knowing that the fat
lady's chair In the sideshow de-
partment may offer me sea, 81
my declining years"
To come to the facts and figures
Leitzel weighs only 104
pounds at the present time. Still,
in 1921 her weight was So pounds
and last season she tipped the
scales at an even hundred. Ernest
Clark, officially recorded as the
greatest aerial athlete who ever
lived, has not varied two pound |
in twelve years. He and Miss |
