' - The Acro-Nuts, absolutely the world's craziest knock-about act. should provide fun. for everyone during Old Home Week.

The Acro-Nuts have made a scientific and psychological study of exactly what makes audiences laugh. They have taken this knowledge and built an act that is just what the doctor ordered. The act is replete with bumps, falls, impossible entanglements and screw-ball situations! This amusing comedy team never attempts anything the easy way when a trick orcomedy sequence can be accomplished in a more complicated manner!

Here are two nuts left over from Christmas who try and prove that "You don't. have to go to Niagara to see the falls"! Since comedy is their business. John and Jorie Armstrong. the Acro-Nuts, are a laugh- vriot from start to finish! '

The Royal Rockets, a highly sensational and dangerous act, will be a crowd-pleaser Old Home Week. The Royal Rockets. consisting of two powerful men and one pretty girl. perform the most sensational and daring tricks that have ever been attempted by a skating act! They do many tricks that are regulation in,the skater's catalog, but two items distinguish them. First is the girl's climbing through a tennis racket frame while being swung around, and the other is one lad's twirling of his two partners! .

Regarded as.having the fastest and most polished skating act in the world, their tricks are perfonned on a special stage pedestal. For an excellent presentation of outstanding roilerskating, don't miss the Royal
