Walking Tight Wire Got Him
His First Job in Circus,
With No Salary


Grey-haired Fred Stone looked
back on half a century of being
"just big show o" and sighed:
Fifty years-it certainly went by
in hurry"
The veteran actor is in the movies
now, but last week he recalled
March IA, 1886, when the Walter F.
Kirby circus stopped at Wellington,
Kansas.
Thirteen-year-old Fred Stone
climbed pole and walked tight
wire in front of the tent because of
''an impulse to show off before the
kids around our town. kept at it
long enough to make living"
The circus owner saw Stone eau
tiously picking his way across the
wire and gave him a job.
Received No Salary
II didn't get salary" he said. TT
was enough for me to see the kids
in those Kansas towns staring at the
daring young man on the tight
wire"
For years he travelled with min
strel shows Swiss bell ringers, CAL
wins $4,000 bond" carnvials and,
finally, small stock company. His,
brother Eddie joined him in tumb-
ling act. But the partner with whom
he made his first success was Dave
Montgomery.
Montgomery and Stone made
names for themselves in "The Wiz
zard of o." ''The Red Mill" 1.-THE
Old Town." "The Lady of the
Slipper"
81 met Dave in Galveston, Texas"
Stone said. eve were both with
stock companies and we used to
trade tap-dance routines under the
streetlghts before the show began.
We liked each other and teamed up"
They were together 20 years.
