Circus Scheduled in
Flint Hill Monday
Clowning Is a business before it is an art. Not all clowns are artists, but both the stars and the rank and file have learned their trade the hard way, the big top way. Clowns are not just born. However, the good ones are born with the comedy spar, but they are not the ones the folks at home refer to as “born clowns". No cut ups ever held a crowd in the big top with "life of the party" antics. Every skit, gag or walkaround clown bit is a studied thing. Knowledge of human nature, psychology, and comedy know-how are factors in each bit, no matter how brief or trivial. The Dykes and Wharton Com bined Vaudeville Circus clowns have all been through the mills — they are masters of their business and their business is provoking laughs and bringing happiness to children of all ages. The clowns, however, are just one small part of the mighty entertainment program of selected TV and novelty acts presented by the Dykes and Wharton Combined Vaudeville Circus coming to Flint Hill for two performances on Monday, October 2, at 6 p.m, and 8 p.m. The circus is being presented by Flint Hill Volunteer Fire Department in support of their charitable activities. Tickets may be obtained from any member.
