Advertised as the funniest basketball team in America, the Harlem Clowns run by Al Pullins, one of the all-time Harlem Globetrotter greats are a combine of Negro stars who tour the country making people peo-ple laugh. They play their audience for laughs from the time they romp out on the floor until they leave the court spinning basketballs on forefinger fore-finger tips. The Harlem Clowns stage all the comic routines of clown basketball plus a lot of im- j promptu stuff. Along with ' this, they add the razzle-dazzle ball handling, intricate pass patterns, trick shooting, fancy : dribbling, all of which adds up to one of the craziest shows in : the business. i Fans can expect plenty of action from the moment the f Clowns come out on the floor with a fast warmup routine, followed by a lot of tricky and s fancy ball handling and with j enough really great basketball j to make it one of the most in- i teresting evenings imaginable.
