&  Many there are among the radio audience

of KNX who will remember the song that began its chorus

„Down-n-n, in jungle town-n-n, da-da-da-daa.“ It will

be sung and played tonight on the „Circus Program“ given

by Grauman‘s Chinese Theater to celebrate the Friday

night opening of Charlie Chaplin‘s latest picture,

„The Circus.“ J. Howard Johnson, tenor, and Marie Golden,

pianist, will be the „performers,“ and the middle ring

act starts at 7 and concludes at 7:30 o‘clock.
