Show UTAH STATE FAIR BECKONS WITH NEW HIGH ACTS Two spectacular new high acts have been booked for the 10-day Utah State Fair which will get underway Sept. 7 in Salt Lake City, Woolas A. Macey, Ma-cey, Utah State Fair Assn, sec retary-manager .announced today. to-day. They are The Ivanovs and The Great Seabright. The Ivanovs are a dainty lady and her male partner who vnll keep crowds laughing and gasping as they present their high revolving ladder act. Mr. Macey said the act is interspersed inter-spersed with "comedy" as the male partner falls and becomes entangled in the ladder just as it swings through the air. Mr. Macey noted that a few years ago the Ivanovs had a bad fall from the high rigging. Josefine broke her back and Mario smashed his feet so that the doctors said he would never walk again. After five operations, his feet were practically prac-tically rebuilt, and he was able to walk. The Ivanovs tried to leave circus life after this accident but were soon back in the nomadic no-madic life that was "in their blood." Josefine was born in Mexico, Mario in Hungary, and they have been acclaimed in many foreign countries. Movie fans may remember them in "The Greatest Show on Earth," when Mario did some doubling for Cornel Wilde. The Great Seabright works atop a 147 foot rigging without any safety net. He developed his liking for height and stunting stunt-ing while in the U. S. Air Force and claims to have gone higher than any other aerial artist with his balancing acts. The free high acts wiU be presented twice daily during the Fair. |
