Laddie Lamont

Known at hone and abroad as the funlsst Scot an the globe. It may sound like boastful billing, but the description is really s play on words. for Laddle Lamont h famous for the unique feats he executes cu a rolling globe. While balancing himself in angular and lar sltions on a large globular cblect he per- fornss rarities in juggling and other deit inan- ipulations. The presentation fairly screams with uneapeeted comedy situations.

Laddle proves his vsrsaﬂllty h his sseon offering billed aa “The Woman's Iloiiday," h which he introduces a variety of skillful bal- ancing. Juggling and dancing stunts. .'l‘heso antics are done on a freely balancing ladder. known as an "unsupported" ladder. it is this net which the Scotchman has developed into anartoflsowu. Iehasataamnsate-a female dunnny.

Allnest everywhere on his tours hook and ladder companies insht on adopting Laddie to keep them amused while they are at play in the fire station. Laddle will be a big feature of the vaudeville program afternoons and eve- nings of Old Home Week, August 15th to llth.
