he discovered that the Jews Of Mary
land could not hold public office, on
account Of the 35th section Of the
Constitution of 1776, which required
a declaration Of belief in the Chris
tian religion. This law did not agree
with his idea Of free government,
such as he thought America should
have, and accordingly. in 1922, he
secured the passage Of bill in the
House Of Delegates doing away with
this restriction. But his activity in
the matter developed a certain amount
OF resentment, and as a consequence
he was defeated at the next two cleo
tions. But in 1925 he was returned
to ONCE, and he was successful in his
efforts to have the so-called Jew
Bill enacted into law.
He died at his home in Hagerstown
in 1882, during the cholera epidemic.
He was then Sc years Of age, and the

Thomas Kennedy obtained employ

afterward in connection with the

later for the Potomac Navigation Co.,

he met Miss Rosamond Thomas of

Those flamboyant announce
ments of acts during the performance
aren't just circus tradition. They're
verbal magic, as full Of psychology and
persuasion as an insurance salesman's
spiel, which make it better show for
the spectators. A good announcement
can make mediocre act look colossal,
and a poor announcement can kill a
good act.

tempered Toledo steel directly at the

You're going to watch that, aren't

The late Lillian Leitzel was one of

What made her stand out was, in
part, her grace and style; the rest
was Smythe's thrilling announcement
that he convinced the spectators they'd
never seen anything 50 terrific.
The effectiveness of Smythe's oratory
is not just supposition. The test comes
on the announcements of the after
show. An announcer's ability Is meas
ured by how big part of the audience
he can persuade to stay and buy an
other ticket. And most Of them stay

OUT in the back yard, In his huge
white lotion. steel-barred, glass
inclosed. air-conditioned cage sits
Gargantua the Great, the 575-pound,
5-foot-6 sorilla-"the worlds most ter
rifying living creature" How's he do
ing?
He's doing fine. He's growing. How
much, nobody knows. because you
can't get at him to weigh or measure
him, but he's definitely bigger.
He's also getting more ferocious
as the months 60 by. Lately the
sight of small children has begun
to irritate him. When a woman with
a baby in her arms comes near the
cage, he stands up, hammers his
chest and roars
He's picked up human mannerisms
watching people. He's seen them mop
off their faces on hot days. and If
you give him rag. he'll sit there
and wipe his face the same way, al
though it's always cool in the air
conditioned cage.
His keeper is slight, impassive
German named Dick Kroener. who has
been taking care of him for five years,
since he was just baby 75-pounder

isn't it cruel to keep him in there?"
people ask. Presumably it doesn't
bother him much, because he's been
in captivity so long. He shows no
sign of wanting to get out. He has
a space about Is by 10 to Jump
around in, and never batters at the
walls or bars.
The cage is kept spick-and-span.
When they want to clean it, they
shut Gargantua of in a small barred
compartment at one end. They used
to get him in there by poking a
live garter snake in on a stick. A
snake is the only thing he's afraid
of. But he started throwing things
at the snakes and killing them, 50
now they poke in a short length
OF rubber tube. He still thinks it's
snake.
Kroener is with him about IS
hours day, and there are two men
on duty at the cage "a hours a day
to make sure the conditioning
system keeps running. CA cold would
probably kill him quickly.)
His playthings now are a truck
tire (ordinary auto tires he bit to
pieces and a basket ball, which is
bit too big for him to get a jaw
grip on.
He spends most of his time just sit
ting there, staring out at people and
working up frenzies of rage.

w rades any more?

hunchbacked. A poor build for q
trapeze performer, he'll tell you. But
he gets along.
As matter Of fact, since the pass
ing Of the great Codona family, he's
probably the world foremost trapeze
performer
He came from . railroad family
and learned the trapeze from the late
Eddie Ward, ST., one Of the outsand-
ing performers of the last generation,
who had headquarters in Bloomington.
Eddie Ward, jr.. is the catcher in
the Flying Concellos" The third
member Of the act is Arthur's beau
teous young wife, Antoinette.

says. you gotta get that feel of 1t,

IN LEARNING trapeze work you
start with acrobatics on the ground,
to Timber you up and strengthen
your shoulder muscles. AS soon as
you're strong and 1.-THE enough you
go right up-no low trapezes.
Up there the first time, the ground
looks million miles below, and the
net Is : comfortless blur.
As matter of fact, 1t wouldn't be
much help, anyway. Unless you know
how to fall. a net is nearly as dan
gerous as the bare ground. An i'm
proper fall means broken arm, leg
or neck.
So beginners, and even experienced
flyers" trying new tricks, wear a
mechanical belt with ropes run
ming from it up through pulleys and
down to some one on the ground
who stops you in midair when you
start to fall.
Perfecting a simple aerial somer-
sault means maybe a solid year of
practice, miss after miss, fall after
fall.
Concello can do q triple somersault
from the swinging bar to the catcher,s
hands, which means whirling through
the air SO fast It's a physical and
mental feat to keep your bearings. He
has done q quadruple somersault in
practice wearing q mechanic. but
doubts If it's possible as q regular
performance trick.
