Grace, Beauty Stud
 Naugy Y Exhibition
Repeat Performance Tonight Clifford Teeple Awarded Honor MedaI-ROller Skating Act Scores Hit

Naugatuck, April 27.-Just as Old -Ian River continues to roll along, Fritz Klambt manages to turn out better exhibitions for the Y. M. c. A. each year. The initial presenta- tion of the 1940 exhibition last night at the "Y" provided grand enter tainment and merited the frequent bursts of applause from the packed house.
 Variety, precise timing, grace and beauty marked the show and those who plan to see the second perform ance tonight are in for a most en- joyable evening.
 There were so many fine acts it is difficult to select any one as the best. The finale was a picturesque and artfu',y-executed one, it being the "Statuary of Youth" in bronze Difficult poses were taken in this act with deftness almost amaz- ing and the immobility of the living statues added greatly to the ef- fectiveness.
 Fritz Klambt and his troupe con- sisting of Phyllis Johnson, Jac- queline Else and Bob Wood, scored decisive hit. They had number of new stunts that displayed their unusual ability to the best. Wood as the clown of the group drew many laughs.
 The hand-balancing troupe put on 8 performance that drew con- stant rounds of applause and could compare favorably with anything similar in the state. This group consisted of MT. Klambt, Bill Con- naughton and zippy Karlhofer and they did variety of difficult stunts with a grace and ease that made the act a Stand-out.
 Another skillfully-executed act was that of Rudy's Whirling tNio, a roller-Skating act. This group con- sisted of Rudy and Bobby Fibre and Alice Ouillette and they performed such variety of WhirlS that the audience was left gaping.
 The novel entrance of Klambt's tumblers, on tandem bicycle of the type popular in the 8O's was also highlight. The Junior Lead CTS again showed rhythm and con- plete harmony in their intricate drills and the drill work by the younger girls, the older girls and the midgets also pleased.
 MT. Klambt announced the honor medal for all-around merit had been won this year by Clifford Teeple. Jr. The Leaders and Mrs. Noble Allen, pianist, who plays the musi- cal accompaniment to the perform ance each year in smooth fashion, presented MT. Klambt with fog light and auto accessories, Larry Curtin, captain of the Leaders, making the presentation.
