THE FIREHOUSE GAG Ringling 1965


The classic Firehouse Gag (as produced by Paul Jung) and presented by the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Clown Alley of 1965 with the assistance of famed vaudeville clown, Ed Wynn.

Lou Jacobs plays the bomb-throwing anarchist (and then possibly goes inside to work the lycapodium); Marcos Drougett may be the cop.

The first person out of the house might be Mike Padilla, then Albert White and lastly Dennis Stevens.

The group of firemen include Duane "Uncle Soapy" Thorpe, Glen "Kinko" Sunberry, Gene Lewis, Paul Wenzel, Prince Paul, Mike Coco and Kochmaski and a few guys without makeup which leads me to believe that some of the older folks in the Alley needed a little help catching those guys in the net.
