CLOWN ALLEY: Spec Wardrobe; Ringling, 1940s

Photo courtesy of John Peters



I see Felix and Chesty in there, but I also see Harry Dann so I'm guessing this is from somewhere between 1947-1950.

Anyone know the exact year for this one?

This photo is from 1947. There is a larger group photo like this floating around, I have one, and in it is Bill Ballantine. My father is on the left in the front row,, crouching. They had a great clown alley that year. I just worked the summer months when schoool was out. Jackie Le Claire
