Dime Wilson in his familiar tramp character makeup that he wore for the next 50 years. The bare feet date this photo to be taken in the early 1940's. The costume makes me wonder what his take on the Baseball Gag entailed.
When Dime produced the Baseball Game it included the whole alley,(If there were enough clowns). Geo. Hamid Jr. wanted him to do it with 3 clowns once, which Dime declined.
ReplyDeleteI noticed that you mentioned a new friend, Jeff Darnell from hospice, sent you the photos. I once knew a Jeff Darnell that worked at hospice in Lawton, Okla. about 7 years ago. He was a neighbor to me in Apache, Okla. I often wonder how he is doing? Is this the same Jeff? Just wondering because he is the greatest friend that anyone could ever have. Thank you. Micki
