Laugh, Clown, Laugh

The Greatest Show on Earth came to Boston this week amid the roars of lions, tigers, panthers, and assorted lesser beasts. Emmet Kelly, shown here, and the rest of the Ringling Bros., Barnum and Bailey cast will give two shows daily through Sunday. For as little as $1.50 students can lose themselves in a dreamworld of clowns, high wire acts, side shows, and menageries. All seats are reserved, but any Ford Foundation students under twelve can get in for half-price by going on a weekday afternoon to the matinee at 2:15 p.m.
