Can anyone identify the clown in this picture? All Bill Strong and I have been able to figure out is that he worked on the Hagenbeck-Wallace show for quite some time. He turns up in other photos from other shows but neither of us can seem to find any info on who he is.
His makeup is usually a little more "Classic American Circus Auguste" (white around the eyes and mouth, outlined in black) and he is usually pictured with a cane, but this is the best photo of him alone that we have.
Thanks,
Pat

I think we can narrow the field some... if he is asking himself who he is then obviously he was on the Blue Show at some point.
Glad to help!
Hagenbeck-Wallace had a Blue Show????
