The photo of Keith and the two youngsters is taken in front of THE CLOWN COMPUTER; the feature of that year's spec.

The shot of the three rings and two stages is the elephant number with the title of the "Peerless Potentate of Pachydermia", or something similar.

This info is from memory so past performance is no guarantee of future results.

PS The fabric used for Lou's suit is one of my all-time favorite. It read from Madison Square Garden all the way to Paramus, New Jersey.
