Billie Burke in a Lone Star State of Mind

Senor Billie Burke (an excellent clown as well as a whiz at painting props and equipment) as a bandito in front of a Texas bandwagon (TEXAS BANDWAGON?!? Wha????) on, I am guessing, the Texas Shrine dates.

Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrribaaaaaaaaaaa!

  1. I have put in an inquiry to Jackie Wong regarding this wagon, the Wongs were very good friends Of Gil Gray, & parked at Winter Quarters, so they have a pretty good knowledge of what was built there. I feel like Max Craig built the wagon for the Cotton Bowl Parade, but may be wrong.
    Regarding my word verification. I know that guy!

  2. I have received word that this Bandwagon was indeed built by Max Craig for The Gil Gray Circus.

    Ukenygb, I think he's a top mounter in a Romanian Teeterboard Act.
