In general, in consideration of
the fact that she is rapidly grow
ing up (she is only an inch or so
shorter than her mother) she is
beginning to enjoy some of the
prerogatives reserved to adult roy
atty. But she is not old enough to
accompany her parents on their
foreign peregrinations. Hence she

tongue failed TO manipulate Eliza

Her transition from girlhood to
womanhood is being reflected,
however, in numerous ways.
In her education, for instance,
she is now being introduced to
such stiff subjects as constitutional
history and administration. In geo.
graphy, she is branching out into
study of the dominions, her earlier
years having been devoted exclu-
sively to perusing the British Isles.
She probably will continue to be
instructed by various visiting teach

NEW YORK, April 20-The great
est act in the circus this year won't
be visible. It's John Ringing North's
demonstration extraordinary of
trouble juggling, obstacle-jumping
and Observation-Disclosures some
lightning feats of finance thrown
in F.
Being the boss of the circus,
NORTH is reluctant about featuring
himself. That's why you can't see
the act in any of the rings. But
here's. private look.
One of North's stunts is investing
$4,000 a day, seven months year,
good aimes and bad, and figuring
out how to get the money back with
interest

designer, Charles LeMaire-all of

called insane.
There followed a lull-North had
no troubles for several days.
Then he found that the laborers'
wage contract he had inherited
could not be continued. After sur
viving two strikes, the show closed
at Scranton, Pa, in June.

but North went over it in one big
stride
The subsidiary Al G. Barnes
Sells Floto circus was in South Da-
kota. After a -i,500-mile trip from
Scranton to winter quarters in Sara
sofa, Fla. North Strengthened out
the battered show, loaded the cream
of it back on the train, made an un-
precedented trek TO Redfield, S. D..
merged it with the Barnes show and
completed the seasons scheduled
tour-with a profit
New Wage Contract
During the day he was around
the lot most of the time. usually
dressed in such sartorial tours-de-
force as blue pants and a yellow
shirt. The more conservative towns
people took one look and figured he
was somebody from the side show.
This winter his troubles were less
diffuse than last, but just as in
tense.
After several months OF negotia-
items with the American Federation
Of Labor it was agreed that the
Scranton strike had been regrettable
all around. A friendly basis was res
tored and new wage contract re-
suited
But with general conditions just
about as grim as last year, North
again faced the problem of having
to toss out $4,000 a day and figuring
how TO get it back.
To The Junk Heap
North sat down in the Florida sun
and juggled his troubles some more.
Then he set to work breaking an
unprecedented number of prece-
dents. s. N
He decided to revolutionize the
concept of the circus. He would
change it from that of show un-
der canvas to that of a theater Out
doors. He began on the circus tent
unchanged for half century.
He had LeMaire compress it into
two thirds its former length so as
to bring the audience nearer the
acts. He continued the streamlin-
ing by installing plush, gold braid
and guilt galore He even put in air
conditioning.
Next on the junking list was the

POWER AND PUNCH
 TOPS POLL DRAMA
Taylor and Beery Starred in "Stand Up and Fight
 NOn=Western

Opening tomorrow at the popular Loew-Poli theater is the second sen sational smash hit show of 1889! All of you have pleaded with M-G-M to give you Wallace Beery in another Bad Man of Birthstone" and Rob ert Taylor in another ''The Crowd Roads" M-G-M replies by giving you two of them in single picture that packs the power, punch and widespread appeal of both those great favorites. Stand Up And Fight" their co-starring hit, brings you the champion of all the action shows ever filmed, including the great "Cimmarron," "The Last of the Mohicans," "The Covered Wagon" and many other film suc- ceSSeS.
 Stand Up And Fight" is definite ly, NOT a Western--yet it has every great element a Western can have. The story is laid in the Cumberland section of Western Maryland and the time is just previous to the Civil War; one of the most drama tic periods in American history.
 Taylor plays the part of Blake Cantrell, a dashing young blade of the Maryland fox hunting set who, having dissipated the family fortune ,, decides to go West. In Cumber- land he meets and quarrels with Boss Starkey (Wallace Beery), manager of the bullet Stage Line and secretly in league with a slave smuggling gang headed by a mysterious Morgan (Charles Bick- 1 ford0
 Suspecting that Starkey is using Bullet Line coaches to transport stolen slaves and learning that the real owner of the stage is Susan Griffith, (Florence Rice), an old flame of his playboy days, young Cantrell joins forces with the rival Baltimore and Ohio railroad as secret agent. How he rounds up the slave gang, proves he's better man than Beery, Bickford and McLane rolled into one, and finally win the girl who scorned him is the story. And what a story it is! A bare listed, Straight-from- -the-shoulder rip-roarin' he-man yarn that will have the cash customers standing up to cheer.
 AS double guarantee of superla- tive production, M-G-M assigned two of its aces to the filming job-- Director w. s. Van Dyke, and Pro- ducer Mervyn Le Roy. Stand Up And Fight" marks the return of Van Dyck to the type of picture which first brought him fame-- virile, robust spectacular action.
 Sharing honors in the second hut of this program are Lucille Ball and Jimmy Ellison in this Years fun niest comedy Next Time I Marry"

 The story unfolds during an ill., fated ocean voyage from Shanghai to San Francisco with Morris play ing a ships doctor and Wendy Barrie his assisting nurse. McLag- len is cast as hard-boiled chief engineer whose tyranicai rule over the engine room has won him a wide reputation as a belligerent bully, but of inestimable value to any steamship line.

The Plaza theater announces an engagement of the drama, Angels with Dirty Faces" to be shown for two days only, Sunday and Monday.

 The picture is said to set new milestone in gangster dramas with a powerful human story. For his portrayal in this feature, Cagney has been acclaimed by the press and public alike as giving the best per- formance by an actor for the year
 The supporting cast includes such tcp-fight performers as the Dead End" Kids, Humphrey Bogart, Ann Sheridan and George Bancroft.
 The co-feature is an action packed football picture, Swing That Cheer" staring Tom Brown. Per- formances today conclude the en- agreements of -Four Daughters" and ''The Storm" Tomorrow, for one day only, Spawn of the North" and Sons of the Legion," another dou- ble bill, will be shown.
