A. thoroughly enjoyed tho fifth annual Barndoor and Baled Hay Circus presented in the Y gym last Saturday aftornoon and evening. The adults, who will soon bo approached in the annual canvass for funds, saw tangible bonefits as members of tho various groups demonstrated thoir gymnastic ability. In the afternoon, tho audience, composed mostly of small children, woro as funny as tho performers as they sat eating peanuts and shouting advico to the performers. Tho grand parade was colorful, with tho Bluo Triangles in gay Oriental costumes, cadets in purple shirts and grey shorts, elephants in gay carpets, clowns in patched outfits and a brown panther bringing up tho rear. As a proof that even tho circus had gono modern, tho scarlet coated ring mastor was replaced by a broadcasting equipment loaned by R. D. Ritchey & Son, with Robert Ritchey at tho mike. Tho first event announced was Olympic capers by tho cadet preps, who performed wand and dumbbell drills, to the tunes of Clark's Serenaders orchestra. The clowns, Euth Challis, Christine Doughty, Helen Ford, Jano Tiernan and Gwendolyn Kirk, burlesqued tho exercises, using mops, spades, car- pot boaters and othor household articles. Tho Bluo Triangles then performed intricato marching designs, carrying lighted Japanese lanterns and tho clowns followed with candles and odd electric light bulbs. Tho ValdOS troupe, not Wallrose, as thought by somo people, including L. Malono, G. Nowborry, W. Tiernan, C. Hunter and E. Haley, presonted a sories of stunts, including pyramids, on the sido horse and tlio "ponderous pachyderms," Sur prisingly enough, made their appearance on roller skates. Three scarecrows, Josita Roach, Dorothy Ohlman and Dorothy Roy, were dragged out, set up and then they Went into a vory peppy tap dance. The chums of Cheops, not lamb chops, in groups of three, formed pyramids, bridges and then grouped in a circle and formed a living cylinder. Tho chums were K. Newberry, J. Brand, W. Ford, E, Hahn, G. Barrio, J. Elkins, D. Johns, J. Massi. Tho Clowns were not so successful and thoir pyramid soon foil. Hart, Schaffner and Marx brothers hung by their heels, swung high in tho air letting go and performing a somersault before touching the floor and turned rings insido tho swinging rings. A Cowboy, in a shirt composed of decorativo flags which used to bo in every Can of tobacco, a ten gallon hat and long woolly chaps, lent a western air, oven if his only gun was a cap pistol. The Walonda troupe demonstrated tho many stunts which may bo performed on the parallel bars and the comics appeared with ono of thoir number in a baby carriage, umbrella overhead and another running alongside pouring rain out of a watering can. Thoy then, with much difficulty pulled out mats and weights for tho uso of Samson and Atlas—Edward Grant and Frank Tiornan. Samson oven allowed Atlas to stand on his chest, held him up on a chair around his ncek and then burst the chain by his chest expansion. After each and every act, he received a largo medal. Balancing balls on tho endof a stick is easy, said kids in the audience, whon each ball is fastened and tho weight lifting was a joke, as (Continued on Page 4) THE SEWICKLEY VALLEY WORK CANVASS Help it Along—be Ready for the Solicitor Sunday Afternoon tf*
