other day. I had to stop the act
and beg people in the audience te
give them back. If they had not
been nice, which most of them are
I could be wiped out of business in
five performances. Think of it."
We thought and shuddered. We
had no notion priorities had gone
so far.
"Of course, I could do the act in
pantomime," Miss Martell laughed
II might do it better that way, just
tossing up imaginary balls. AT
least, I'd never be awkward enough
to lose any of them in the audience
We did not want to intrude upon
trade secret, but our curiosity
about why the balls were kept In
the wash basin got the better OF
us.
so I can do the act" said Miss
Martell. You see, if they get toe
warm, they bounce differently. much
higher. I did not realize what q
difference temperature made until
did the act not long ago in Los
Angeles. I found myself almost
having to jump to catch them. II
was big show, with Eddie Cantor
as master of ceremonies. and was
very much embarrassed to have
done the act so badly"
1t occurred to us that maybe 1t
would be good way to compare the
climates of Washington and Holly
wood just by bouncing a ball in each
place, but Miss Martell was going
on talking. We went on listening.

Just the reverse. Once in Australia
I almost broke my back STOPPING to
catch the balls that would not
bounce at all"
There's a lot more to juggling
than we thought" we told Miss
Martell. "A lot more than audiences
think, too
There is, indeed" she said in her
nice English accent, especially
when you don't know where your
next prop is coming from"

She had to go downstairs then to
do her act. We left. thinking how
terrible it would be If the audience
were not decent and she should
make a monstrous mistake and the

painting. She seemed totally oblivi-
Gus of the fact that she had cheated
us out of story by not having
been little girl who had learned
juggling because she had been awk-
ward once when drying the dishes
She was not letting us down as
badly as it appeared, however. The
minute she concluded her lips were
just the right shade and shape, she
came through with what seems like
a nice substitute for the yarn we
had in mind.
You know" she said, II don't
know how long I am going to be
able to be a juggler."
We thought instantly of artlritis,
hyperopia (the Army's name for
far-sightedness) and number OF
other things equally tragic to a
juggler.
Miss Martell instantly dispelled
the notion of any tragedy like that
in her artistic career. She had g.
better one.
See those balls" she said, point
ing to II which were nesting in
the wash basin. That's all there

eether different explanation, a
deadly logical one.
oh" she said, my father was a
juggler in the English music halls.
He thought it would be novel to
have woman doing the same kind
of act"
We said a bad word under our
breath, the first trick man learns
as cub reporter to cover situations
In which people and stories don't
pan out the way they are expected
Miss Martell went right on with
her makeup, routine that is the
same whether you are going out to
juggle or to play Juliet. First she
slapped herself In the face for a
long time with powder puff.
When she was satisfied with that.
she picked up a thin little brush
and started painting on her lipstick.
There's not much material for a
column in watching a performer
make UP any more" we thought.
"It's probably been just like this
ever since Aeschylus.
