 The other side of town well that's why it's taken so long you bet it is I tell you Jerry we like these performances better than the regular show just you wait you see those kids I tell you break your heart you've been out here before sure every time we hit this town mean every year you play this town you go out of this children's hospital and give them a show you've been doing it for years we look forward to it well how do you ever happen to think of it well I didn't Jack Hastings the publicity man got the idea you see he discovered there was a kid's hospital in this town and he suggested playing it well just for a publicity stunt really yeah he figured we'd get lots of free publicity in the paper and everything well did you all say we did it was the best publicity stunt we'd pulled in years well do you still get publicity no only a line of truth doesn't mean anything anymore you know the first time it's new after that it doesn't interest the public and what is Mr. Randall got all this trouble coming it's my nice you bet it's nice but you waited to see those kids faces and then you'll know why every time we play they stand we give a performance for these children it must cost something fierce paying for this big bus to get us across town and everything well sure it does but he likes to do it the rest of us like to put on a show for those poor kiddie they look forward every year to when this circus comes to town and looks like we're almost there hey Jason fun says we're most there I'm counting on you to help me with fuzzy's crate Jerry sure thing as soon as we stop he why isn't Jason been out of before it couldn't very well bring his big lions out of the hospital ground and this is the first year he's had a cub line to work golly then then maybe some of those kids never saw a line huh why lots of you see Jerry this is a kind of a experimental hospital cases come here from all over the world you mean sick kids that other doctors couldn't help that's it exactly so lots of these youngsters have been in bed for you or some of them all the lives oh imagine not being able to get out in the air to walk or play it's pretty tough for these little shut-ins some of them have to be in plastic cast and others are stretched out on beds and things only allowed to move when the doctors and nurses say they can guess we don't know how lucky we are and that's true and yet these children are lucky to you know they've cured lots of children in this hospital that other doctors have given up and not been able to do anything for say this must be a pretty famous hospital it certainly is there it is now you see you see that big white building boy that's a big place come on rags wake up wake up you sleepy head and you listen to me I want you to give the best performance of your life this morning I guess these kids deserve it more than any audience you've ever played you just a second Jason you stay here with plumps well we are again those youngsters will be pretty glad to see me again they certainly will major my you've got quite a pool with children I certainly have and we've grown up too it's remarkable how folks crowd around to see me just wouldn't be a circus I guess if I weren't along all you take everybody to make a circus all the animals and clowns and performers and yes yes yes of course I'm not belittling the rest of the show it's only well you see Jerry I can't help noticing how my public looks forward to seeing me every year well I'll be seeing you later oh hello there beppo want to make it a new pair of shoes this year well I know Mr. Major that seems like of course you're all right I just in the world they know a good performer when they see one I have a poor clown there are shoes that's enough say what's that all about boss it's a regular few of those two have worked up over which one of them the children like best this has been going on ever since the first year we came here well I gotta hurry cuz cuz I play the ringmaster

when you get used to it but what do you do oh lots of things I read and I'll tell you one game I made up after I saw the circus I made up games about what it would be like living with all the clowns and animals you did that's funny I used to do that before I belong to the circus you did sure often you see dad was with a circus for years before I was born she wish I could just one see what it's like you know back where the performers are and I'll tell you what when you're gonna get up the doctor thinks of this winter then I got learned to walk all over again golly I'll tell you what I'll do
