Poppo of the Popcorn Theatre #1

Poppo the clown attempts to perform an act for a special showing at the Popcorn Theatre, involving climbing a ladder and performing high-wire stunts, but his various mishaps and blunders keep interrupting the performance. After multiple failed attempts, Poppo finally manages to get his act together in time for the intermission announcement. The issue also includes a feature article titled "The Most Amazing Tricks Ever Done," which documents legendary magic and performance feats such as Harry Blackstone's Floating Electric Light, Charles C. Peterson's Trick Dollar billiard shot, and the Julius Zancig mind-reading act.
