Ringling Master Clown Otto Griebling performing for the very first class of the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Clown College. The bright lights seem to give the impression that this was being filmed or taped. Michael Karp, Keith Crary... are you out there? Can anyone confirm that this was recorded, by whom and for what?
I see a total of 7--count 'em--7 whiteface clowns in this photo. Whatever became of that lost art?
ReplyDeleteWhitefaces are not a lost art. They will come back.
ReplyDeleteIs that Frosty in the middle-right?
