MYSTERY CLOWN: Blinko?


An amateur snapshot from far away but it looks to me like Ernie "Blinko" Burch.

Nini said it could be Ernie Burch but thinks it's more likely Eddie Dullum.

Nobody ever called him Blinko other than PR. He was known to all as "Birdie Burch" or Ernie. Little 84 yr. old "Joe Short" called him "Oinie". "New Joisey" accent.I remember it well. He called me "tanglefoot". Johnny Herriott.
