Shrine Circus Feature
Again Cance|ed by
Accident 10 Cannon

The human cannonball' act at
the Shrine Circus at Uline's Arena,
was Cancelled again yesterday and
Miss Victoria Zacchini, who serves
as ammunition in the feature per-
formance, doesn't like it a bit.
This time the act had to be
called off because the big gun got
bent. Not much, but enough to make
getting shot out of the cannon even
more hazardous than it is under
perfect conditions.
So far Miss Zacchini and her
father, Edmund, her manager and
tutor, have had more difficulty with
their gun than any artillery regi-
ment. 1t started when the Commits
sioners refused to permit the cannon
to be fired in the street outside the
arena. Then the insurance COM
pany for some reason. was reluctant
to allow the act in a parking lot
across from the hall.
Enlarge Arena Entrance.
Rather than disappoint circus
fans, the management decided to
move the big gun, which is mount
ed on a truck, into the arena itself.
This involved cutting away part of
a concrete floor and excavating
enough to let the truck and the
gun slide into the building under
crossbeam.
Workman got busy and opened a
hole 1oro a1nlI0l, for fhn
|ment to slide through. Everything
was going nicely until the lotion
truck began to sink into the mud
Planks were placed under the front
wheels, and the thickness of the
boards was just enough to raise the
muzzle of the gun to the height of
the beam. AS the truck moved along
it scraped the. support and cut a
cash about inches deep and a foot
long into the top of the barrel
about 4 feet from the mouth.
Repair to Take Time.
Shrine officials thought they
could repair the damage but Mr.
Zacchini said no, his daughters life
was at stake, and only he would
undertake to put things in order.
Although the dent is slight, the
piston which filings Miss zacchin
into the air and hurls her toward a
waiting net might stick. If this
happened the girl would either be
thrown short of the net or off to
one side
Mr.. Zacchini intends to begin
working on the gun today, Possibly
he will get it repaired in time for
his daughter to perform before the
show closes next Sunday. Miss
Zacchini said she will help her
father with the work, since he
doesn't trust any one else with the
complicated mechanism.
