CLOWN’S DAUGHTER
JOINING A CIRCUS. Bianca Sordini, a daughter of Grock, the famous clown, plays one of the leading parts in a new show at the Cirque Medrano at Montmartre in France. Another performer is Marshal Hall, an American pianist, to whom Bianca was secretly married in Cannes a few weeks ago, after running away from her father’s home on the Italian Riviera. Bianca Bordini is herself a talented pianist. Her father, who made his name and fortune as a clown, and knows better than anj’one the difficulties of such a life, says he will never allow his daughter to become a professional entertainer. Bianca’s brother stated recently that Grock, who was in Berlin, was not yet aware of her marriage, and he certainly had not been consulted about her circus debut. Brother and sister hoped that later Grock would relent and send his blessing.
