Let’s give three cheers and one cheer more for the funniest of funny comedies which was presented last night at the Theatre, where the audience just howled for one hour at the antics of the incomparable Joe E. Brown, in his newest First National laugh hit, “The Circus Clown.” When a man bites a dog, that’s news! But when Joe Brown bites a lion—that’s comedy . . . fast and furious, rough and ready, as only Joe Brown at his funniest can give you. Joe, as a crazy, lovable circus clown is grand entertainment for both young and old. From the moment he runs away from home to follow in his dad’s footsteps in the circus, he falls into such ridiculous and laughable scrapes that only the sheer artistry of Joe E. Brown's characterization of a circus clown, can make an audience believe real. Imagine Joe as the “Man on the flying trapeze!” Picture Joe keeping cool while the lions get Hot-cha! See Joe make his way in the circus—getting the biggest job there is... elephant washer. He sure gets to be a big man. As he says when he works for the knife-thrower, “Things are sure coming my way.” I know I’m not letting my enthusiasm get the better of me when I say that Joe E. Brown has never been funnier than in his new comedy, “The Circus Clown.” For his supporting cast, Joe Brown not only has a number of Hollywood’s favorite stars, but also many of the greatest aerialists, clowns and acrobats the circus world has to offer. All in all, if you’re a movie fan, a comedy fan, a circus fan or a Joe E. Brown fan, we can easily recommend this picture as one of the funniest comedies to come out of Hollywood in many a moon. Bring the whole family to see Joe Brown in “The Circus Clown” for an evening of continuous laughter. It’s playing at the Theatre all this week.
