her, he was known as Mr.. Brice;
partly because of his slight build
and partly because of the small
publicity his plays had received.
From the time when his wife called
him "pasty-faced dope" in front
Of a group of his friends his main
ambition was to be great. There
fore he tried out an idea of his
own in an act which was later to
become the greatest of the decade,
namely, Jumbo.
His idea was to make an act
combined of chorus girls, legitim-
ate stage and the circus. He nam
ed it in honor of Barnum's great
elephant, Jumbo. The show almost
hit the rocks after it's first year,
but he remodeled it and had it pro-
duced in the Hippodrome. Between
the acts are the regular phases of
a circus, with animals, popcorn,
pop, and all the other main attrac-
tions. Consequently it Is now call
ed the biggest show on earth.

sings to the accompaniment of his
lutte, 18th century vintage, and
pennies fall from heaven. He takes
up with helter-skelter little raga-
muffin girl and her doddering,
chess-playing grandfather and
plots with them to keep the young
ster out of the orphanage.
