New York, April 26.-Interview
With Circus Aerialiste:
O. You are in an unusual profess
sion for girl. Few of your sisters
throughout the country know much
about it. Will you tell me-and them
how you came to be a trapeze per-
former?
A. Oh, my family has been wire
workers, jugglers and trapeze artists
for hundred years. Back in Hungary
where my mother was born, we pass
ed on what we knew from generation
to generation. None of us ever
thought of being anything else
Q. Then it's useless to ask YOU
whether you enjoy the work or not.
Of course you do?
A. Oh, it's pretty boring much of
the time. If your family has been do
ing it for a hundred years, though,
how can you be anything else? OF
course, 1 wanted to be an actress a
movie star. But l realize that my
place is on the high bars.
Q. Perhaps you were afraid of be-
ginning a new branch of the family
tree-so that everyone would be a
movie star for the next hundred
years?
A. (Polite laughter) I never looked
at it quite that way. But you have no
idea how we are held down and pre-
vented from enjoying life by this
work. I haven't had a thrill in years.
@. But, goodness! What you do GER
tainly looks dangerous and thrilling
Take that triple somersault to the lit
tie girl in pink, without the net.
Doesn't that give you a wallop when
you do it-as it does the spectators?
A. Oh, that. Yes, it's dangerous
enough. But because it is highly dan
gerous, it means that I have to live
like a girl in a convent You see? I
can't take a glass OF chamnagne-and
| dearly love champagne-hecaus I'm
afraid it may ruin my timing next
day on the bars. I can't smoke I
can't go to midnight movie after the
show. I must have ten hours sleep
a night I can't fall in love- That
might upset me and cause me to miss
and one miss could Re the last. One
summer in Copenhagen [ was pretty
crazy about q boy who had a wonder
full job with one Of the big dairies.
That year | got dislocated shoulder
and fractured jaw You see, l cot
to thinking about him while in the
air
@. Do your brothers and sisters
and I understand there are seven of
you altogether-all feel the same
way
A. Oh, exactly. / have one s:stc,'
who does a high wire act She's think
irg of quitting and becoming beauty
parlor operator. Just for the rest and
the chance to live her own life.
@. Maybe she'll start a family of
beauty parlor operators for another
hundred years.
A. What? Oh! CPolite laughter)
You are making the joke again. No,

TODAY,S YESTERDAYS

April 26, 16O7-The F. F. V.-First
families of Virginia-found their pre-
serves being encroached upon by a lot
of foreigners. Three ships in COM
nland of Capt. Bartholomew Gosnold
sailed into Chesapeake Bay with 100
immigrants who were established the
first permanent English settlement IN
America Jamestown.
Note that this was 13 years before
the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth. A
lot of persons seem to think Mayflow-
er ancestry important.
Forgotten and neglected hero of the
expedition was Gosnold, whose name,
curiously, is not mentioned in most
school histories. After being an asso-
ciate of Sir Walter Raleigh in the
shortlived settlement on Roanoke Is
land IN. c. in 1884, Gosnold did not
give up trying to plant the British
flag in America, and can be given
most credit for accomplishing it.
He commanded the expedition or
ganized in 1902 to establish what is
now New England. Coming first on
Cape Elizabeth, Me-, he explored the
coast, discovered and named Cape
Cod, finally planted his colony on an
island at the mouth of Blu Yards Bay
(Cuttyhunk). From there went forth
the first exports to Europe from Eng
disappearing America-sassafras root
cedar, furs and other commodities.
These exports helped Gosnold
arouse interest in a company for
colonization of Virginia. Unfortunate
~, loud-mouthed Capt. John Smith
was a member of the resultant expe-
dition which landed $50 years ago to-
day. Smith and others selected a set
Element site so miles up James River
against the circumstances of Gosnold,
who knew it would be unhealthy. Be
fore Autumn so of the colonists died,
and Gosnold was one of them.
