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. The rope goes
up to a pulley In the roof, passes
through ft and down to the hand

of the trainer, who can manipu
late his pupils' bodies by lifting
them, or save them from falls by
pulling an the rope as they do
their tricks. 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

to costumes worn In the Sylphldes
ballet. 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.

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.

could give him any dope on how
to run his now job. From his pre
decessor. Archie MacLpish Ben

lo Ket VSed to the way the state
department did things, which was
different. From another adviser.
Benton learned that the state de
partment was "the land of the
qualified phrase." And from
Counselor 11 e n Cohen, an 0 1 d

the state department is a good bit
like the imxik. "People came and
people go. but the state depart
