Ringling Alley: 1950s

I believe this photo may be from 1956, the show's last year under canvas and the year of the big AGVA strike because Emmett Kelly, Otto Griebling, Lou Jacobs and Felix Adler are nowhere to be found. You do see Buzzy Potts, Prince Paul, Paul Jung, Paul Jerome, Charlie Bell, Toby Joria, Lulu Cranston, Ernie Burch, Chesty Mortimer and future Clown College Director Bill Ballentine in and amongst the crowd.
