The broadcaster (aroused shouts of pretended disapproval when he declared: “Mr Jones j h£s lost Mrs Williams.” The crowd ’ received sceptically the- subsequent i explanation that Mr. s Williams was Mr Jones’s mother-in-law. The broadcaster, after vainly plead' ing with pedestrians to keep to the pavement, announced: “Ladies and gentlemen, the Circus is yours. There j will be no more traffic.”
