ILife's Been One
Big Circus
By Hubbard Keapp,
HOLLYWOOD

HOLLYWOOD.
My two sons were convinced, be-
cause their old man said 1t so often,
that no good comes to little boys
who run away from home to Join
circuses.
While they haven't quite lost faith
IN the old man, they positively have
quit believing that running away
with circus is the first step to-
ward the reform school, or worse.
That's because they've just met
Artie Concello, who ran away from
home to join circus and ended up
owning one.
There's quite a lot to his story
and one swell chapter includes his
marriage to the girl on the flying
trapeZe. When my sons met Artie's
wife Antoinette they gee-whizzed
out loud. did, too, but not out loud.
Artie was the aerial star of the
Ringing Brothers -Barnum & Bailey
show for a good many years. Last
year, he stopped flying" and
bought the Russell Bros. circus, one
Of the smaller big tops. It wasn't
big enough for Artie, so he and
ISiyuC oCdIty AOi IIlCO a pal IllCIolilp
for the 1914 season.
Most OF the Nations aerial acts
are under contract to Artie, so he
can assign his acts wherever he
pleases. He called in some of the
best, including the one his wife
stars in. With Beatty's wild animals
and Artie's flying acts, this circus
has among the best in those divi-
sions.
Artie is nervous little fellow,
about feet 5, with huge biceps
and keen eyes. He smokes long
cigars, is continually on the run,
Ipretends to be lazy and indifferent
about money. He isn't really indif-
ferent about money, as my boys
pointed out, or he wouldn't let his
venders charge little boys IS cents
each for scent cokes and scent
popcorn.
Artie Is the only boy I ever heard
of who made up his mind when he
was 10 what he wanted to do and
stayed with it. I used to hear about
this Concello boy, in Bloomington,
ILL.,, Is or so years ago. Folks at
first used to shake their heads when
the story about young Conceilo got
around. Then, in few years, when
he began buying apartment houses
and sending his mother expensive
gifts and breezing home in CUSTOM
built cars, the tune changed.
I've seen Artie, and you likely
have, too, at the top Of the tent In
pink tights and spangles. It looks
like the most thrilling sort of work
or play. But when I asked Artie
why he quit flying, he said:
"You get tired of going to the
office every day, don't you? It's the
same way with the trapeze. Some
days it's hot and some days you
don't feel good. Well, you finally
get tired"
