JOE JACKSON: 1940 New York World's Fair



Joe Jackson (possibly Sr. but I would have to guess that it's most likely Jr.) in two photos, first (above) with his famous trick bicycle and second (below) reclining while having a portrait done by Angna Enters at the New York World''s Fair in 1940.

So this week we learned that both Abe Goldstein and Joe Jackson appeared at the fair. Anyone out there know if any other clowns appeared?

I know that Jackie LeClaire and Ernie Burch both worked the Ringling-produced circus show while Emmett Kelly Jr. worked the Kodak Pavilion at the 1964 NY World's Fair.

  1. Is that the mime Agna Enters? Do you know if any footage of her exists?
