It's John Ringling North’s demonstration extraordinary of trouble-juggling, obstacle-jumping and pgecedent-smashing—with some lightrling feats ‘of finance thrown in. ¥ Beifig the boss of the circus, NortHf is reluctant about featuring himself.

Barnes— Sells Floto circus was in South Da- kota. After a 1500-mile trip from Scranton to winter quarters in Sara- sota, PFla., North straightened out the battered show, loaded the cream of it back on the train, made an un- precedented trek to Redfield, S. D merged it with the Barnes show and completed the season's scheduled tour—with a profit New Wage Contract During the day he was around the lot most of the ti d in such sartori yree as blue pants and a shirt. The more conservative towns people took one look and figured he was somebody from ‘the side show. This winter his troubles were } diffuse than last, but just as in- tense After several months of negotia- with the American Federation Labor it was agreed that the anton strike had been regrettable all around. A friendly basis was res- tored and a new wage contract re- sulted with general conditi just as grim as last year, North again faced the problem of having 0 toss out $12,000 a day and figuring how to get it back. To The Junk Heap North sat down in the Florida sun | d juggled his troubles some more. Then he set to work breaking an" unprecedented number of prrce-J dents. He decided to revolutionize the, concept of the circus.

He continued the streamlin- ing by installing plush, gold braid and guilt galore. He even put in nlr-l conditioning. So instead of “The Maharajah’s | Dream” or “The Durbar of Delhi,” the 1939 “spec” is the eminently American and eminently contempor- | aneous “The World Comes To the World’s Fair.” | Casting about for another new | feature, he hit on trotting horse " Princess Elizabeth boyish individual of 35 To “needle” a dublous season, | r_Jces. with sulkies, a popular though 25, North got the job a | North gambled ndred | Very limited sport. little over a year ago after his uncle | thousand dol tua, the| The experts said people wouldn't John *Ringling, died 600-pound, six-foot gorilla; Frank | lke them, and anyway you couldn't Norgh, a Yale graduate, w (Bring 'Em Back A Buck, and | Put on sulky races in a cfrcus, ing irfa Wall Street brokerage house | brilliant new costumes and trap-| NO!
