Show .. Orem-Geneva Times Wednesday, September 19. 1990 Page 6 ' Ladies and Gentlemen, Children of All Ages, here come the world-renowned Ringling Bros, and Barnum & Bailey Clowns! Audiences howl at the hilarious antics of Clown Alley in the all-new 120th Anniversary Edition of Ringling Bros, and Barnum & Bailey Circus. Clowns speak the one true universal language When it comes to laughter, Ringling Bros, and Barnum & Bailey Circus "wrote the book" on clowning. When it comes to making the world a happier place, the talented young men and women of Clown Alley at The Greatest Show On Earth are worthy wor-thy inductees to a Hall of Humor. All are graduates of "Ringling Bros, and Barnum & Bailey Clown College in Venice, Florida. This institution of higher hilarity boasts more than 1000 clown graduates! "Spreading joy and making people happy is our mission in life," explains Boss Clown Tom Parish. Along with his clowning wife, Tammy, the 10-year veterans fromNeodesha, Kansas, have performed in more than 6500 circus performances. "We estimate that we have played to more than 55 million people in our clowning careers," Tammy adds. "But each performance brings a new audience, and another chance to spread the" laughter around." Huel Speight, originally from Durham, North Carolina, served a stint in the U.S. Navy as a photographer abut always wanted to follow his penchant for humor. One of the first black funsters to join the famed Clown Alley, Hue! says, "there is not other medium which allows me to entertain millions of people face-to-face, work directly with children, and at the same time see this country from coast-to-coast." Scott Linker, a Louisville, Kentucky, native who worked the streets of New York as a mime, gets as much fun from clowning as he puts into it. it is no unusual to find Scott "signing" his unique brand of humor to an audience of the hearing impaired. "Humor does not have to be spoken to be transmitted and enjoyed," he says. "I get more pleasure from performing for my special friends than I am able to give them." Kevin Thompson is the feisty 'little people's representative to The Greatest Show On Earth. However, his comedic talent is anything but small. From pratfalls prat-falls to slapstick, Kevin keeps his audiences (and backstage friends) in stitches. When Kevin, who hails from Arleta, California, joined the fames Clown Alley, he knew he had found his second home. '1 just didn't know anyone could have so many brothers and sisters.

Olsen, coordinator of the 1870 map-building map-building project and LDS Museum of Church History and Art operations manager. To give proper credit to the pioneers who did the work,t he Museum staff did an incredible amount of research to create an accurate topographical model. "We got copies of nearly every photograph in the State of Utah that showed anything about Salt Lake City in 1870. We consulted fire insurance maps, real estate maps, plats of the city, lithographs, and we did a fairly comprehensive analysis of newspaper accounts, peoples' diaries, landscaping, tree types, plants, and birds eye views of Salt Lake Cityias well as colors of houses and other buildings," Olsen continued. , "This three-dimensional model contains as much accurate research about Salt Lake City as has ever been assembled in any one place anywhere before," Olsen proudly proclaimed.

It includes the LDS Church headquarters, head-quarters, the central business district, irrigation canals, neighborhoods, neigh-borhoods, public parks and the relationship of the city to the surrounding sur-rounding environment. In constructing this educational educa-tional exhibit, first the topography topog-raphy was plotted then the profile cast in Fiberglas and streets were laid out. A system was developed to make trees, fences and buildings. build-ings. Students from Brigham Young University worked part time with Museum staff fabricators to make more than 17,000 trees. Featured are approximately 2,000 buildings, a number that does not include the 1,200 outhouses. The buildings are made of small chunks of plastic, painted and then given doors, and windows with tiny rubber stamps. Fences on the model are as accurate as the other items. Actual Ac-tual drawings were made of various fence types, then scaled down and etched into brass, to fit the layout as needed. To have City Creek flowing down North Temple Street, an in-dentation in-dentation was made on the Fiberglas shell. The base of the indentation was painted to look like mud, then clear casting resin Tools taken from construction site About $2,800 worth of tools were taken from a home under construction in the area of 1850 S. Main. According to the police report the. stolen items include a table saw, a circular saw and a variety of hand tools.

"Are you checking change, too, Mom?" for was painted over the mud area to give it the appearance of a stream. Very fine sand and sawdust saw-dust were used to represent soil. " A few of the buildings easily spotted on the fascinating layout are those on Temple Square which include the new tabernacle, taber-nacle, the temple foundation, the old 1851 tabernacle, the endowment endow-ment house, and the Orson Pratt observatory. , - Other landmarks quickly spotted in the city are the Beehive House, the Lion House, Eagle Gate, the Tithing House, the Council House, the Salt Lake Theater, the Social Hall, the Utah Central Railroad station, the Armory, Ar-mory, the Staines (Devereaux) mansion, and many early downtown business buildings.

The Club gets 15 percent of the profit. The newer machines take only 5, 10 or 25 cent coins depending depend-ing upon the candy or nuts placed in them.
