Here is a photo that the caption on the back claims is from the Kelly-Miller Circus.
It might be, it might not.
If it's not, more than likely it's a photo taken on the Beatty-Cole show back in the early to mid 70s when Billy McCabe (center with an unusual Lou Jacobs/Jimmy Stewart-inspired cone headpiece atop his usual Harry Dann-inspired makeup and Jackie LeClaire-inspired costume) and Bernie Kallman (right) were alley-mates.
Anyone know identity of the auguste on the left? He looks like he borrowed a pair of Billy's extra pants and one of Bernie's other jackets.

Wait a minute!
This guy and Mike Bourbon lived in the Asbury Park/Long Branch area?!?
*I* live in the Asbury Park/Long Branch area!!!
Let me check the yellow pages and see if Mike is still around!
~P
Well...he probably won't come to the phone then.
I did find a "J. Levine" listed in Long Branch, but that's a fairly common last name.
Maybe I'll just try it anyway and see!
Pat,
"GREAT LINE"!!!!
Just to set the record straight. The clown on the left is Jerry "Rabbi" Weiner. He woked with the Beatty-Cole Alley for a couple of years and took a flyer with me on a new independent circus that toured the Texas area and went bust. When we finally got back east Jerry was a pitchman and entertainer in the northern part of the country and the eastern part of Jersey until he got married and took over his fathers business in Florida. That brings us to now...Bernie
