It set up for busitiess on one of M-G-M's back lots, and it was different from all other circuses because money wouldn't buy your way in; you had to have 8 pass. Very serious business, this circus; a complete one assembled for the Marx brothers to have “A Day at the Circus.” Mammoth elephants, waiting in line for the camera, swaying rhythmically in the way of elephants; clowns in make-up and clownish habili~ ments, and balloon-venders; bareback riders in tights and fluffy ruffles, and Cossacks, and proud white beauties called horses; tents flying pennants, and midgets strolling, and seeming to strut, in the way of midgets; acrobats and—is it acrobelles, a Ia Billy Rose? Anyway, ladies of the trapeze and tight wire, and one who walks upside down on a platform under the big top. . . . The same, and somehow different. What has happened to the circuses that used to tour the world each summer, tHeir com- ing an event and a celebration in towns small and large? What's tne matter with the circus, anyway? I asked 8. L. Cronin, the veteran circus man who is in charge of all this for the picture. Circus manager, he started out in the “backyard” of the big tops, rose to bull-hand, came to be manager of one 6f the biggest, now defunct like the rest. What's the matter with the circus? “It's 20 years behind the tims,” said Cronin, “for one thing. And the nut’s too big—that runs about $4,000 to $4,500 a day. The circus needs streamlining. To fit the modern taste. Streamlining in tents, in wagons, in pres- entation. Take a look about here. This circus we've got here “Come and Get It Has a Special Meaning . Tasty food, efficient service and an atmosphere truly home-like sound the ald call of “Come and Get It” . . . “PERCY’S would fill the bill—if it could be moved. It could be, at that, but not for one-night stands. Maybe for one-week stands, though. Some day, maybe next year, I'm going to try to take a circus ouit. Take a look around. This is a streamlined circus. The wagons— streamlined, and the tents. The big top is round—only one pole, in the center. Audience can see everything. ,And the seats—no more benches, but comfortable individual chairs. See that men- agerie; the cages are set in frames typifying the native homes of the different anfmals. Showmanship. And neon lights. All modern, and all new ideas. That's what's the matter with the circus. ‘Twenty years behind the times.” But the acts, Mr. Cronin? Anything streamlined there? about the clowns? Are they still up to the same old tricks: Maybe the kids who hang on the loudspeakers and follow gang- busting, shoot-em-up radio serials are too derned sophisticated to pop their eyes at clowns? . “The clowns,” said Cronin, “rate according to the new stuff they think up. Doubt if any circus could get together a n like this here. Takes a movie studio. We've got acts, head- lines—and they're getting real money. Might think ecircus e would be glad to work for anything, circus business being 50 sloy nowadays, but these people are getting top money, same as nl# Yes sir, the circus is coming back—but only when it gets stregmlined.” Neon signs, chromium trim, up-to-date clowns, and no lemonade. (Pink lemonade is long gone because of sanitary lations.) It might be a big hit, that way, but would it be 8 ' Would it be the sort of thing the kids would get up before day- light for, just to see the cars rumble in and unload? You can bet your life it would! That’s what Cronin says, anyway. -
