CLOWN ALLEY: Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey (1969)
Mr. Karp, would you be good enough to ID all your alleymates and fellow Clown College grads here who joined you in so shamelessly leering at the lovely Ms. Mary Gill?

Will leave the clown I.D. to M. Karp. But the lovely lady in the photo is Mary Gill of The Flying Waynes from Australia.
Anonymous beat me to it!!! Good for you, Scott! Reggie's last name is Montgomery, as you already know, Pat... Mary Gill later, as you also know, suffered a tragic accident which left her disabled...A good act that was always overshadowed by the Flying Gaona's (and Tito's star turn doing the triple summersalt at almost every performance....) Thanks again, Mr. Bryan!!!!

Is Jim Howle the Auguste or the one in blackface? ~frank
I was on the Red when Mary fell.. very sad indeed. The Gaona's were on the Blue that year. I think we had the Flying Cavaretta's opposite the Waynes.
One circus memory I could do without.
