Inhaltsangabe

Excerpt from The "Halls"

Although, now, they mostly 'fake,' they are able acrobats and clever clowns. And they are genuine humorists. Their Blondin' Donkey is one of the most hilarious things ever presented to the public; their lion-taming episode, though not quite so popular, is equally as good: both are unique, funny, care-dispersing. When, for example, the lion is a trifle early in taking up his one to roar, and the trainer admonishes him with: Too soon! You silly lion - well, then the listeners feel that, for a time, they sit in a kingdom where the only weeping is caused by laughter.
