Only Comedians With Circus

A BEAUTY AND SOME FUNNY MEN

Why are there no women clowns with the circus? With Ringllng Brothers and Barnum & Bailey combined there are ninety-nine sawdust comedians, but not a single comedienne. In his thirty years in the business, Spader Johnson, famous producing clown, has known of three female clowns, but none of them, he says, were good ones. “Women won’t make fools of themselves as men will,” asserts Johnson. “They prefer to become riders where their beauty Is enhanced rather than concealed by the costume. And they - won't. make themselves look ridiculous. A man clown doesn't care how funny you dress him or how foolish you make him, because men, as a rule, haven't any natural vanity. But give a woman a crazy costume, make her paint her face in red and white checks, put on a false set of feet seven sizes too large and what have you? A, lady clown? No—a resignation. "Take the elaborate mock wedding which is one of the big clown features that the Ringlings are introducing this season. The blushing bride and all her bridesmaids are MOTION PICTURES
