Push Buttons Operate Big Top
By HARM AN W. NICHOLS
tUrtted Pru Staff porwpond'nt i
Washington, May 17 (U.PJ The greatest show on earth is here
with two big improvements.
One is a push-button uplift and the other a sheep-headed lady.
Science is responsible for the uplift and you can blame me for
the lady. Let's take things one at a time.
The day of the roustabout
if there ever was such a thing I
is history. The 30.000 square
yards of canvas which shelters
the Ringling Brothers and Bar-
num Bailey Circus blossoms be
fore your very eyes by button
pushing.
The big top goes up fast, but
the seats go up a lot faster. A
lot of sleek trucks come in and
circle the tent area. Somebody
pushes a couple of buttons and
the seats jump out of the trucks.
Another session of button-push
ing and up they go into the
stands and into place. Magic!
The seats, incidentally, are up
holstered and even in the
bleachers you have a footrest.
Gone are the days when pop had
to watch his kids to keep 'em
from falling through the wide
open spaces of wooden seats.
I watched the boys put the
show together for Ringling's
first appearance under canvas
this year. It used to take 400
men to raise the big top. Now
it takes only 2.10.

SMART CLOTHES FOR SMART
Once it took a couple of hun-
dred fellows four or five hours
to anchor the seats. Now it
takes a handful of huskies SO
minutes and there are no sore
backs for guys who push but
tons. Now about Fi-Fi, the Sheep
headed Lady.
For a number of years I have
been kidding the circus because
it has no bearded lady. In fact,
I wrote a story earlier this
spring, at which time Frank
Braden, the gravel voiced, tough
little former newspaperman
who is the voice in advance of
the big show, bowed his head
and said:
Frank came to town the other
day and couldn't wait to unpack
his loud ties before he called.
"We've got a substitute," he
said.
Then he described Fi-Fi. I
haven't met her yet but she
must be a thing of consuming
beauty. She's a blonde, with a
frizzy top-knot that sort of de

fies description it says here.
- Frank said I had embarrassed
him across the years about this
bearded lady stuff. The first
time I did a piece on it, the cir
cus got a couple of barrels of
mail from a lot of ladies who
were willing to grow beards
But not from a gal who had one
ready.
You probably remember what
happened to the last Ringling
bearded lady. They had the
poor lady sitting next to the
flame swallower in the side
I show. Of course, she turned her
plumage left when she should
have been looking right and lost
her stock in trade.
Frank has met Fi-Fi and
claims she is a lady of fine tal
ent. She doesn't really look like a
sheep, except for the kinky top.
"We expect a little trouble,
though thanks to you and your
campaign," Frank said. "This
makes two Fi-Fi's we have. The
other one is a chimpanze train
er. They are bound to be jeal
ous of the double billing."

Den Mother Hostess
Grand Island The Cub scouts
of Unionvale were guests of
Mrs. Raymond Palmer, Den
Mother of the group at a dinner
at the Palmer home after a
boating contest won by Norman
Finnicum, 11. Six members were
present: Norman Finnicum
Gary Rockhill, Cecil Smith,
Keoth Taylor, Leon Palmer and
Merlyn Gubser. This Cub scout
group was organized about one
month ago. Roy Aebl of Dayton
Prairie is leader. Jimmy Elli
son, of Unionvale, is Den Chief

a week.
And where is Fi-Fi the sheep-
headed lady from?
Frank, one of the most honest
circus press agents I ever met,
said:
'She's from Sheepshead Bay.
We're billing her as from Zanzi
bar."
