Felix Adler, towards the end of his long career and all-too-brief life.
Here he is in 1954 with his wife, the former Ms. Amelia Mullen who left her job in a department store to join the circus and tour the country, clowning alongside her husband. I had the chance to speak with Amelia shortly before she passed away; a very sweet woman.
I don't know if it was the joy of wedded bliss or not but Felix experinced a tremendous weight gain in the 1950s. He changed the eyebrows in his makeup as well. I'm not sure why. I like them better the other way, but that's just one feller's opinion.
