These two passionate lovers, Henry Lootensand Phyllis Nestler.provided it to the fullest extent. Since Hank was definitely stage struck, Phyllis had to take the initiative and do the proposing. But she evidently get cold feet at the last minute, or her great emotion overcame her, for just at the nest crucial moment her tongue twisted and sho didn't ask that customary question at all.

This engine was unique, being propelled by two legs in a reciprocating notion. After driving all around the auditorium, Miss Wilhelm get out and pulled this engine around for a while.

Poor Kenny, he was s little stiff due to the fact he had neglected to remove his first suit before he put on his second ---- pads and all! Ls a fitting climax to this stupendous circus, the last two un-initiated freshios danced a hot Jitterbug, accompanied by the honorable Ray Sullivan do- ing a bit of boogie-woogie. These two capable gents. Conrad Gebeck and Delmar Peed, were so smooth that they really 'sent9 their audience. Fiftycent peace: and other coins fell all about then as the audience clapped an encore. ' And so. on this amazing scene, the big top performance cane to an ond....
