It was this dear, old funny fel
low, Jules Tumour, who served as
the prototype for "Diggeldy Dan,"
the lovable, laughable clown who
lives in the pages of Edwin P.
Norwood's books for children. And
it Is this same Jules with his
quaint, old-world personality and
kindly physiognomy who has been
indirectly responsible for the
"Diggeldy Dan" toy.
More than a hundred clowns will
come here with the great double
circus. There will be those that
manipulate miniature hook and
ladder wagons, engage In an In
ternational shindig and perform
scores of other ludicrous stunts.
But If ytfu are curious to see the
dean of them all, Just watch for
the clown who has his hair restor
ed in "two whlnks and a whee."
That will be Jules,
