1934 Ringling Alley

A group shot of some of the Ringling alley of 1934. 2nd from the left in the back row we see Lou Jacobs celebrating his 5th year on the road. His makeup has come together but the proportions will continue to be fine tuned, the headpiece will be added, the costume will come together and it will continue to be honed until it becomes the classic look we've all come to love.

Charlie Bell is in the center of the back row, surrounded by a group of other guys who look like they all shop for striped shirts at the same place.

On the far left in the center row we find Chesty Mortimer looking like he's in deep meditation or something. 2nd from the right in that same row we find Felix Adler, King of Clowns, who looks like he's about to be crowned with a clarinet by a member of the Charlie Bell Mob.
