WASHINGTON, Dec. 8 iC.Hi—
Frank Breudon, who talked his
.vay across 60,000 miles on the
road this year is still talking when
he ought to be gargling to ease
the strain on his tonsils.
Frank, a little guy with a voice
hat sounds like a rusty meat grin-
ler, makes a living by sounding
>ff <*n the virtues of "The Great-
■st Show on Earth." That would
Se the Ringling Brothers and Bar-
num Bailey Circus.
"What's with—" I started.
Frank wet his tongue and set it
wagging.
"Let me tell you something," he
'aid. "Maybe you thought the
ihow in 1953 was double-super col-
>ssal, hugh?"
"I—That's all I could get in.
Big Animal Collection
"Well, sir," Frank went on, still
working on his first wind, "the cir-
*us came out of the red this year.
\ rid why not. We had the biggest
collection of animals under one
ent. The best band on the road,
rite best acrobats. The most and
he best clowns. The best pink le-
nonade."
"But how about"
"Shut up," said the little man,
'I've got the mike. Nobody in the
world can touch our brand of saw-
fust. Our biggest elephant can
.vo!f more peanuts than any other
leohant in the world. Our man-
•atintr tigers hardly ever eat peo

how me. Show me another train-
<1 seal that can nlay the ciar'ne
'ike our Susie. Show me another
girl who can stand on her Marcel
60 feet in the air on a swinging-
swing."
1 finally broke in.
"How about a bearded lady?"
Ain't Got One
"We ain't got one," he replied-
passing that over quickly and get-
ting back to more important
things. "Well, as I said, you thou-
