Meet Grand Old Man of Circus

One of the grand old men of the
circus world is Spader Johnson,
when he dons his suit of clown
white and ambles on to the hippo
drome track at the circus. Spader
does not appear to be, to the public
not in the know, a man Of nearly 70
years of age.
He is agile as his brother fun
sters of young years. His capers are
clean cut and his comedy actions
are well thought out.
He has appeared with all the lead
ing circuSeS since taking up his pro-
fession of clowning. Spader John
son has been before the public for
over sixty years. His greatest fame
came to him during the run of the
eXtravaganzaS at the old New York
Hippodrome.
He has toured both in this coun-
try ana Europe, all the leading
vaudeville circuits and at times adj
dresses many luncheon clubs and
civic societies while on tour. His
fund of travel and circus lore is very
interesting and one never tires of
Spader'S philosophy Asked how he
obtained the name Spader, which
has been his nickname for years, he
stated that when a youngster he
was a song and dance artist and APP
peared with the early minstrel
troupes. In one of these enter

and the voice both are there. And
after Samuels had done his very
adequate part On the piano as a
solo group came the great woman.
Then we knew more than ever.
The soul of the body became the
great artist. She did Deep in My
Heart" MY Shadow. (by her own
husband, and by the Fountain"
Then suddenly the audience lifted
itself upon an old tune that be-
came a glorious benediction. 1t be-
came the soul of an old refrain of
loves sweet song. Theater left.
Stage left Walls left. Everything
left but the great thought behind
the meaning of it all. The voice
true and all so honest in its purity
of message. We cried. We thought.
We dreamed.
That is the message of a song,
that is the message of those who
sing. Then more old tunes. Home,
Sweet Home" became the dream
that we all have lived or hoped to
have lived.
After all of this-this gracious
truth of "Dinorah." Here was the
soul of the artist. Here was the
mechanics singing.
Here was the bird on the wing
the marvellous thought of the past
and the grand hope of the future.
This was Galli-Curci to me.

tainments he did O dance number
while standing on a spade, and as
far as he knew, was the originator
Of the spade dance. Hence the name
OF Spader has always chung to him.
1t is Spaders chief joy to enter
tain the Riddles and mingle with the
youngsters that visit the big Sells
Floto circus. He will always have
some nick-nack for them, a picture
book or a fund of stories that appeal
to the little visitors of the circus.
In speaking Of clowning as a pro-
fession, Spader says, Clowns are
born and not made" Present-day
youngsters do not think of clowning
as a profession, Few, if any, care
to go through the preliminary hard
ships Of circus travel, yet, year after
year new funsters appear, but where
they come from no one seems to
know.
Most clowns represent generations
upon generations of circus perform
erS and contrary to expectations,
clowns are not decrepit acrobats.
Most clowns are nimble and agile
performers and can do any sort of
acrobatic work.
Spader Johnson will greet local
boys and girls here with the Sells
Floto circus coming Tuesday, May /.

The Soul
of Body
Is Found
Old Songs Mean the Most
to All of Us These
Days.
BY WALTER ID. HICKMAN


TINE old songs like "Lindy Lou, "
Il Home, Sweet Home" and the
others mean the most to us.
1t seems to me that there was
soul in the body as we'll as the
voice of Nine. Galli-Curci as she
stood before the Murat audience of
Sunday.
She of the mighty fine high notes.
She of the bird tone became the
bird of longing. The bird of song
that has entered many a soul.
The bird that wants to fly way
off some place. Just like the robin
that may leave us any time.
In winter is this robin! May
leave! Here is the visitor of hope
So is CALI Curci. In winter, in the
spring, in the fall-any time is this
genius of song.
There is hope and a promise to
Galli-Curci. She destroyed with
her own idea when she spoke: MY
dear friends. I took a cold in the
sunny South. I will do my best"
She is honest.
Then Homer Samuels struck a
key of the Steinway. 1t came true
and honest. Then two numbers,
Nina" and "Pur Dicesti.'
There was some doubt. Then
suddenly the Galli-Curci of the
promise of all that we know came
on Mozart swas her next composer.
Then things began to happen.
The bird Of song had forgotten the
Sunny South Then The Night

and future with the great singer

not tell her. The girl meets Count
Ravelli, who tries to harm her
! Several years later they meet again.
The count with an affliction of
laughing and the clown with the
affection of crying. Simonetta does
them both good.
The count loves the girl and wants
to tell her So but she fears that he
will try to repeat what he had tried to
do years before and runs away. Tito
thinks that the Count has evil in
tention, because he sent the girl
pearls. the count shows what he
had written on the back OF the card
accompanying them.
The girl loves Tito so that she
will discard the count so that Tito
can marry her. Tito, knowing that
he is too DID, kills himself in a
tragic way.
CLANCY has done one Of the best
pieces of characterization that 1
have seen for some time. At no
time does he forget that he is the
clown. Even in the darkest mo-
ments it is brought to him that he
should laugh and make his public
laugh. Simonetta is played by Lo-
retta Young. Most of the time her
acting is not brilliant, but there
are flashes of real genius. Bernard
Segal has the part of Simon; he
is rather good, but does not have
very heavy part.
The Count Luigi Ravelli is played
bv Nils Asther. This man is good
He makes the count very much a
human character. He seems to get
the right feeling to the part.
Bobby luke" Henshaw was the
hit of the stage bill. Henshaw has
a novel entrance, making you Won
der just what is to happen before
he gets out in front. This man has
a real line of nutty chatter and
initiates several animals and birds
and auto horns with a great deal
of ease. He also does an imitation
of a Hawaiian guitar and plays the
STARS and Stripes Forever on the
uke.
Raymond Eisman is boy enter

girl Polly. She is good trying TO
be harsh with Tommy and then
changing her mood. Jack Holt is
Nelson, the captain of the team.
Durant, the father of the girl is
played by Herbert Bosworth, but
he is not very convincing father.
A touch of pathos is added by Coy
Wilson, Jr., who is the groom
Sammy.
On the stage there is Roman
Nights. The set is built as a Roman
forum. The finale is the big thing
with a chariot race. Rather thrill
ing to hear the thuding of hoofS
and watch the horses run. There
are six fellows dressed as trampS,
who have been here before. They
90 burlesque on the Spring Dance
and a slave dance that had just
preceded them. These fellows are
very good. The Lester Boys are
eccentric and comedy dancers.
Also mighty good acrobats at the
same time. They have several new
ideas in regards to comedy dances.
Reta and Tesca, I think the
names are, do the slave dance. This
consists mostly of slow acrobatic
posing and some fast things now
and then. Very good however.
Russell and Marconni have a hot
jazz attraction. One of the men
plays the accordian and the other
the violin. They go good together.
There is a fellow that Charlie
Davis introduced as being with
Paul Ash but I could not hear his
name. He sings several comedy
songs and some others. They are
good, and this man, besides being
a good singer is also a wit of some
worth.
Charlie Davis introduces the act
with one of these speeches where
the boys in the orchestra play a bit
OF this and that to illustrate what
is being said. The band also PLAYS
SUNSHINE" and Dick Powell sings
the chorus. There was an. encore
with the violin and bass viol and
several jugs. When I was there this
stopped the show.
"The Smart Set" is rather LIGHT
comedy farce but entertaining. Tha
stage show has bits here and there
that are knockouts.
