Harry Gardiner, "Human Fly", Climbs Face of Goldsboro Hotel, June 11, 1926

“Human Fly” Climbs Up Face of Goldsboro Hotel. . . Harry H. Gardiner Gives Goldsboro Folks the Thrill of Their Lives When He Ascends the Walls of City’s Newest Hotel Without the Aid of Ropes or Any Contrivance—Most Intrepid Climber Ever Seen in This City

Harry H. Gardiner, the man with the fingers of steel, whose nerves are equally as strong and who is better known as the “human fly,” gave Goldsboro people the thrill of their lives last evening shortly after 7:30 o’clock when, without the aid of rope or any sort of contrivance, he scaled the front walls of the Hotel Goldsboro to the tip-top and ended his performance by standing on his head on the coping around the edge of the building.

Gardiner came to Goldsboro primarily to advertise NuGrape, that well known and popular grape beverage which is making such a hit here. Last evening he took advantage of the occasion to say a good word for the disabled veterans receiving treatment at Oteen, and to take up a collection for them. Quite a neat sum was realized as a result.

The climb was a perilous one and one which gave Gardiner plenty of opportunity to thrill his audience, estimated at 5,000 people, all of which he did.

The thousands who stood with bated breath while the “fly” went from story to story I his ascent. Then they stopped breathing entirely while he stood on his head on top of the structure.

“The Human Fly” intended to descend the same way he went up, but failure of those in charge of the performance to secure a spotlight to play upon him caused him to decide not to do this. However, his performance was sufficient to thrill and entertain all those who had gone out to see his stunt.

Audience Sees Overheated Film Ignite, Stampedes, June 11, 1926

Opera House Is Scene of Blaze. . . Film Ignites and Is Destroyed—Audience Stampedes—Damage is Repaired

Fire which probably originated from an electric spark or an overheated film caused the loss of the film which as being shown last evening and for a few moments caused a stampede among the patrons of that place.

Manager Finlay and his operator were in the operating room at the time and at the first flash of the flames all doors and windows in the ?? automatically closed and the flames were confined therein.

The fire was extinguished within a few minutes and about the only loss was the destruction of the film and the smoking up of the booth and its contents.

There will be no change in today’s program or a postponement of the same according to the management.
