CHILD ACROBAT ; in . . ;T NEVER knew where grand mama unearthed Ogralnsky. He was an enormous broken-nosed ex-wrestler of Polish extraction, married to a thin, bitter, cockney Englishwoman who looked after the wardrobe and always had o cold In the head, Tho Ogralnskys had five chil dren of their own, four boys and a girl, all born in different coun-i tries and all speaking different tongues with their parents a family tower of Babel. There were three other children in the troupe, also of diverse nationalities, and to hear old man Ogralnsky con ducting a rehearsal was something to marvel ot. Despite his brutollty, he was a fine trainer and built a good act with us. To Ogralnsky cither people were acrobats or they weren't, and he had every Intention of making them learn to do tricks and Incredible feats, whether or not he ruined their health in the , attempt, Like many ex-wrestlers, he had something sadistic about him, and If he saw any of the children, es pecially his own, sick from ex haustion, 1.: would get a mad gleam in his eye and work them until' they dropped on tho floor. He taught us tumbling, back som ersaults, and full twisters in a ''mechanic" or harness till we learned the timing. Then we hod to do these tricks alone without .any help. A mechanic Is o stout leather belt which fits around the body under the armpits, with a ring In the back to which a rope is at tached with a snap.

This apparatus Is used In all kinds of acrobatic work, aerial trapeze, and vaulting on horses, ORAINSKY started me off to this as basic training. For a while everything was fine. All the other children were more or less advanced in It, but the trouble really began when I had to learn to turn in the air without the mechanic. For some reason I could not leorn to "tuck," which Is to roll one's self Into a ball, touch the knees with the head, and make a complete turn landing on the feet and producing a somersault. Tills position affords protection for the head in case of a fall and also helps the body revolve. Or-ainsky, Impatient to have me work in the act as soon as possible, used to yell at mc till I became flustered and had some nasty falls. This went on for two or three days till he finally got a knotted rope and lilt me over the knees with it to make me turn higher and faster. Wells and dark bruises were the result, and grandmama made him stop. Then he used to cup his hand and hit me on the back of the neck to send me over and make me keep my heod In, explaining to grandmama that It was tho only way I could be saved from a fall on my head and a pos sible broken neck. It did teach me to do the trick but eventually re sulted in chronic headaches which threatened to affect my eyesight. Wo danced a ballet on the points and did an equestrian act, prac tically ballet, vaulting on und off the horses' broad backs, the girls wearing old-fashioned ballet "tu tus" and uie boys white silk tights with black velvet jerkins, similar Deeds Filed Union county to Lawrence Richard Cash, Lots 3. 4, 5, U, Ulk. 17, Connordtile u d di t i o n, La Grande city, $200.

We did graceful poses while the fat white horses (chalked by us before every show) galloped around the ring. Then we had the tumbling act and the cross flying trapeze act, which was our star number and really outstanding. A flying trapeze act Is done with a group of people over a net, and the first thing I was taught was how to fall in the net without In juring myself, and with grace. This is so Important that I can now understand Ogralnsky'j fury when I could not learn to tuck, for the same movement Is used to turn in the air before landing in the net. I loved my work, of course, and began to get the thrill of danger and the thirst for applauie. TTfE played a few weeks in and ' nrminri Mnrnu than fltrrnln- , ....... ve.uu. sky signed a contract with a rela tively small one-ring circus play ing a winter route through Ro mania, the Balkans, Poland, Fin land, and crossing by boat to Scan dinavia. The circus was run by three Romanian gypsy brothers with the Italian name of Morelll. They had been acrobats them selves, and their families for gen erations back had owned small traveling shows. The entire circus traveled by train and did not carry large ani mal acts. What animals th,ey did carry wore boxed In the worst possible way, but I don't think they could possibly have suffered more than the performers did. Of course it was valuable ex perience for me, and in a woy I enjoyed it, but this must havo been very hard for grandmama, who was convinced some one had cast the evil eye on us. She trav eled with me for the first few weeks, then had to return to mother, who was so 111 she could not be alone, so I was left In the care of Mrs. Ogralnsky, When the circus reached the end of the tour and we were in Scandinavia, grandmama got Ogralnsky a booking In Copen hagen with her own act, in the famous Schumann Circus there.
