The Entertainers
Monte
Carlo meeting set for Gatto and Ignatov
IJA
JUGGLER ANTHONY GATTO will compete with Russian juggler Sergei
Ignatov in the Festival de Cirque in Monte Carlo December 8-12.
Ignatov
is acknowledged as world record holder for most number of objects
juggled - 11 rings. At age 10, Gatto is already doing 7 balls
handily. Both men do other things very well, also. The meeting of
such talent and potential must surely be viewed as a remarkable
event in juggling history.
The
Festival has been delay-televised in the past on Home Box Office
network, so armchair 7 ring jugglers may also get a chance to see
the action!
Guy
Theron, a native of France who has spent 50 years promoting his
own and other circus acts, helped arrange the meeting. Theron said
the Festival de Cirque is a circus gala held annually. At a rate
of 10 acts per day for its four-day duration, performers will
entertain Prince Ranier and a highbrow crowd in hopes of winning
the Gold Clown.

he admitted he's not the first to present it, Franco said
audiences enjoy the dangerous trick all the same.
Theron
said that Gatto's additional plans include a Christmas appearance
(Dec. 23-25) at the Deutchlanholler in Berlin. In between those
performances, and for an unspecified time in the future, Gatto
will be staying with his father, Nick, and appearing In the Reno
Hilton. ------------------------------------------ Alvarez, Jr. - Circus Albert Rancy (France). Altas,
