KiNtr u. iis 11 ciristus circis.... by NORMAN WILBERT

Although the Wisconsin winters prevent some of themore famous circuses from visiting this area during thewinter months, the Kohler Co.'s annual Children's Christ-mas Party (Dec, 13) was truly an exception.

The children of Kohler employees were treated to somefine circus acts at the beautiful Kohler Memorial Theatre, whichseats 1,200 people. Four perfor-mances during the morning andafternoon drew straw houses,with a total of 5000 in atten-dance.

Santa Claus was also in townwith his Elves and so was thefamous clown Percy Rademacher,of Hagenbeck-Wallace fame. MelHummitzsch and his well-knowncircus clown band provided thebackground music for the acts.

Six exciting acts thrilledthe kiddies and parents thisyear, and included:

The Claytons - acrobats,hand balancing and whip andrope acts, from St8 Louis (Mo.)They've been on the Ed Sulli-van Show and numerous circusesand sport shows„

The well-known Carmen DelMolino on the high wire and webact. The talented Carmen andvivacous crowd pleaser also com-bined with her husband to pre-sent four black bears in someunusual routines.

Joe Frisco and his amazing"Black Jack" a trained pony de-

lighted the children and answer-ed their questions. Joe's train-ed elephant "Donna" added caketo the frosting and the kiddieshowled with delight.

It was a gala circus treatfor all concerned. The ChristmaParty was sponsored by the Koh-ler Co. (in business since 1873bwho manufacture plumbing fix-tures, light plants and potteryfixtures. They employ some6,000 people.
