Red Skelton, king of the funs

dramatic star as well In “The
Clown,” M-O-M's heart-tugging
drama, on view at the Stewart

Ih a story mixing laughs and
tears, Skelton plays the role of Do

comedian who through drinking,
gambling and quarreling has des
cended dose to the bottom of the
entertainment ladder. His wife,
Paula, has divorced him and has
remarried but has permitted him
to keep their little son, Dink. It is
Dink whose hero worship of and
devotion to his father buoys up the
latter m his darkest moments, but
when circumstances land him in
Jail, Dodo is convinced the boy
would face a happier future with
his mother and well-to-do step
father. Desolate and inconsolable
be cannot show interest in a come

Dink runs away from Paula, unable
to endure the separation from the
father he adores, and the child’s
devotion inspires Dodo to make his
last try. His debut on television
is an overwhelming success but the
strain has been too much for. his
heart and he dies on the crest of a
new success.
Skelton proves himself an artist
to rank with the best in his role
as the clown who tumbles on a
down-hill slide through life. It is
a tole which vividly contrasts pa
thos and merriment. In such hilar
ious scenes as those taking place in
Coney Island’s Steeplechase Paik
and at a business convention party
he is the Skelton of old, convulsing
funny in achieving a comic spill or
getting a pie flung into his face.
In the television performance ,he
does another hilarious act in which
he impersonates four house painters
and their various techniques.
But it is a new Skelton who will
leave you wet-eyed in such scenes as
that in which he forces his son to
episode in which he is determined
leave him, or the final dramatic
to finish his act although he knows
