Clowns Restored
To Feature Role
In 1912 Circus
SARASOTA. FL.

The clown is making a comeback
under the big top.
Long a circus fixture, the Tan
bark Pagliacci' gradually had been
pushed into the background by more
glamorous stars and features, until
in recent years clown acts were little
more than filters for unavoidable
pauses,
But all that has been changed In
the ls42 version of the Ringing
Bros. and Barnum e. Bailey Circus
This country needs something to
help combat the war jitters. That's
what we attempt TO give" says John
Ringing North, executive head OF
the show.
And that's where the funny men
ccme in--or back.
Two of the dozen new super-fea-
lures" will give clowns the center
ring. One new act burlesques The
Marriage of Gargantua and Toto,
the gorilla couple. Another features
a ludicrous gent billed as Harry
the five-story clown"
This does not mean, however
that scores of big show standbys
will be missing, They'll all be
there, but in new dress.

| Self-respect returns to the old
souse. he remains sober for II weeks,
former admirer turns up, is willing
to back her former idol in King
Lear" Meanwhile, the handsome
lodger and the daughter fall In love.
The scene in which the young man
asks the crippled girl to marry him
is well written and well played-in
fact. one OF the better love scenes
OF the modern theater.
The happy couple plan to keep
their marriage intentions to them
selves until after the opening night
of King Lear" Nothing must upset
the old boy and hinder his come-
back triumph. But naughty little
Fan spills the secret few hours be-
fore the curtain Is due TO rise. It
never does, because King Lear is
hopelessly drunk at the time and
insists on home recitation of '.Baa,
Baa, Black Sheep" instead.

answer 1t. What has happened to
the once fine-acting talents of Mr.

Until two or three years ago NUM-
was rightly considered among the
three best actors in Hollywood. His
rating was founded on genuine
ability to be the man he was por-
traying. He was neither glamorous
nor good looking In the Robert Tay-
lor or Tyrone Power meaning OF
the word.
But every performer from the
stage who came to Hollywood had
one acting goal-to be as good as
Muni, the star of Louis Pasteur,' y
THE Good Earth" Fugitive From
a Chain Gang" and THE Life OF
Emile lola" He received movie
lands highest accolade-the prefix
of Mr.. before his name, which
always preceded the title of the
picture.
Then came the dreary picture
"Juarez" in which NUM- Just man
aged to hold his own as the Mexi-
can patriot. Then came a worse
mistake. "We Are Not Alone" In
which Mr.. MUM attempted to play
an Englishman. This writer then
realized that even Mr.. MUM could
give a very bad performance II un-
suited to his role. The payon ar
rived with a hideous number titled
'.Hudsons Bay" in which the once
infallible actor was awful as a
French Canadian fur trapper.
At this low point in Muni's ca
reer he decided. and Hollywood
agreed. that a change of scene
would be good for all concerned
and he returned to his first acting
love. the legitimate theater-in
Maxwell Anderson's Key Largo"
In this he was neither very good
nor very bad.
An Embarrassing Spectacle.
In Yesterdays Magic" MUM has
another shot at playing Britisher-
born In Wales, but with reputa-
ton earned on the London stage.
The strain of his Welsh-Engi1sh
accent is apparently too much for
him. MUM underplays when he
should everyday, and vice versa.

spectacles of the season. And III
make q bet here that NUM- IN all

thing stronger than light wine.
If ever a role screamed for John
Barrymore (before his memory went
too bad-and even that Is taken care
of in the script, Maddoc Thomas,
the onetime Hamlet player, is it.
The curtain rises on q squalid
room in a London side-street lodging
house near the great Drury Lane
and Covent Garden Theaters. Mum,
in haze of liquor for the past eight
years, has as friends trollop named
Fan and drinking companion, Barty.
He also has q daughter. with lame
