The chap in question . . .we’ll call him Vince, though that is not his real name and he has more often been linked with much more colorful and. expressive monickers .. . can often be found of an evening within the portals of the local beer-vending empor- ium, enjoying a comradely glass or two) often more with fellow imbibers. On a certain evning quite re- cently—last week, as a matter of fact . . . Vince had occasion to stroll by said establishment. As he passed, he felt the urge to en- ter for ‘‘a couple”. For the slight-: est fraction of a moment, his foot- step faltered and he hesitated, but this time he did not enter. i - “If I go in here, I’ll probably fall down stairs when I’m going to bed, and wake up the whole family,” he reasoned to himself. ‘Now be it known that Vince is not one of those excessive tipplers described as a “souse.” Indeed he claims he’s had only one hang- over throughout the many and checkered years of his career. However, he does remémber that the spirituous stuff has caused him to be a mite groggy and un- sure footed at times. “It would never do to take a 7| Story Of “Big Top” At Castle Theatre All ThisWeek.

DeMille production, it is the peak of film achieve- ment and took three years of planning, research, training and Production. e It is a story of life under the ‘Big Top” and was produced in co-operation of Ringling Bros.-Barnum & Bailey Circus. “ De mille says this about it: The circus is a great magician leading children of all ages from six to sixty across the border of everyday reality into a world of Teckless beauty and mounting laughter and awesome thrills. But behind all this lies the little- own drama of a u«nassive machine whose very life depends upon diseipline, skill and cour- age.” ..This show is the story of people who make this miracle a reality, a revealing record of the hopes, epee: dreams of steely-nerved |troupers living in a gaudily-col- jored, split-second, death defy- jing world.

Softly he opened the door, stealthily he tiptoed up the stairs, and soundlessly he entered his room. Then he suddenly remem- bered he had forgotten some- thing below. So back to the stair- way he tiptoed and down the steps in the dark, he journeyed on noiseless shoes.
