Paul Wenzel: The Stack

Photo courtesy of the Pfening Circus Archives



A time-tested and oft-posed circus picture, the stack of clowns:

No matter how many times Greg DeSanto tells me the name of the50s era clown on top I can never find it when I need it.
Below him is our hero, Mr. Wenzel. Next we have Gene Lewis and I'm not sure of the name of the little clown at the bottom. Probably taken between 1947 and 1955 on the Ringling show.

  1. On top is Harry Ruster (or Rutter, I've seen it both ways). I believe the bottom is Craig McAlister.
