Jack Tavlin did what all lit
tle boys dream about. He ran
away from home in Lincoln,
Nebraska, at the age of 15 to
Join the A1 G. Barnes Trained
Wild Animal Circus. He whs
taken on as a prop boy and in
his second year was advanced
to ticket seller.
His family caught up with him
however, and his mother sued
the Circus for $15,000 for em
ploying Child Labor. (This was
prior to the enactment of the
Child Labor Laws.) The Circus
settled the claim out of court,
but It became a test case for
later Child Labor suits.
Went Broke
But, the sprawling spectacle
of the Circus had become a part
of Jack Tavlin and he went back
to the Barnes Circus.
The Circus tour was extended
to Hawaii, where it went broke,
playing the pineapple and sugar
plantations. Tavlin got into a
game of chance, and to prove
that Honolulu was an unlucky
place for Circus people, lost his
boat fare.
He was stranded, until he
stowed away aboard a ship head
ed for San Fancisco. Tavlin hid
io the men’s room while the ship
was in quarantine, when with
the add of another Circus man,
the Side Show Manager, he man
aged to get off the ship.
