SPECIAL ATTRACTIONS AT
THE KENT & SUSSEX FAIR
Victor Zaechini


Seekers of the sensational may
have their greatest desire in that
line satisfied by witnessing the in
describably amazing performance of
Victor Zacchini, THE Human Pro-
jectile," at the Kent and Sussex Fair
during the week.
A great ovation usually greets
Zacchini at the moment of his ap-
pearance; after acknowledging the
plaudits, he inspects the firing ap-
pliances of huge cannon weighing
over four tons. He then proceeds
to wriggle feet foremost into the
mouth of this monstrous weapon of
destruction, then follows a period of
awe stricken, quiet, a silence so dead
that the ticking of watch sounds
like the blows of sledge hammer
on an anvil. Suddenly there is a
laundering flash, accompanied by a
deafening roar which pierces the
stiffness, a body emerges with the
smoke and flame that is belched
forth. 1t is the form of Zacchini, a
veritable human projectile hurled
with terrific velocity through space
to alight a few seconds later in a
net a considerable distance away.
The sublime audacity of the feat
rends the spectators breathless for
brief period, until they realize that
Zacchini is standing bowling and
smiling before theml unperturbed
and unscatched. Then comes a cy-
clone of frenzied cheering and thun-.
derous applause that can be heard
blocks away.
You have probably witnessed many
thrilling sights during your life, but
until you have actually seen the feat
accomplished by the Great Zacchini,
you have not seen the apex in hui
man courage and daring.
There will be many other out
standing acts in addition to Zacchini.
including Japanese acts, aerial acts,
leaping hounds, comedy circus, etc.
The Winter Garden Revue that we
had last year made such a terrific
hit with our patrons that we were
obliged to contract for another this
year which we believe to be a bigger
and better Winter Garden Revue.
Our night visitors to the Fair will
