Although in early years he was seen as a whiteface, Mark Anthony spent the majority of his career as a truly unique and original tramp clown character.
"Mark Anthony was born Mark Galkowski in Norwich, Connecticut. During the depression, he joined the circus. Except for a stint in the Merchant Marines, he spent most of his life working with various large and small circuses: Sells-Floto, Harris Show, Dan Rice Circus, Clyde Beatty and Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey."

You're welcome, Rik Gern!
Wow! Unlike Lou Jacobs, who shows a continuity between his whiteface and auguste looks, Mark Anthony's whiteface is a world apart from his tramp look. I'm glad he made the change!
