Chuck Sateja, Michael Karp and Bill Ward

"Ringling publicity photo. Chuck was a good friend of Bobby Kay and a nice guy; he finished his career at Ringling as Men's Wardrobe assistant. Billy Ward became a clown after appearing with the Ward-Bell fliers trapeeze act...His wardrobe and make up were given to him by his uncle, the noted clown Earl Shipley; his comic approach was all his own, however."

Mr. Karp has just finished his triumphant run as De La Rochepozay, Bishop of Poitiers, in Ian W. Hill's off-Broadway production Devils at New York's Brick Theater...
