Thanks to Chase Culp for turning me onto these guys. No, not like that you sickos...
Here's some info I found about these three:
"Hey, watch out!" became a catchphrase in Switzerland;
father Juanito Moreno [56] with son Luis [25] as a whiteface clown and Luisito, a former circus musician;
Juanito and his brother Uge, also a whiteface clown, worked as Hermanos Moreno in the 1940s and 50s, first in Spanish and Portuguese circuses, then from 1946 in Cuba, Mexico, the USA, Chile, Bolivia, Argentina, and gained a foothold in Venezuela – Juanito became a restaurateur for six years and a children's TV favorite!
The trio was rediscovered (facilitated by the juggler and agent Edoardo Raspini!) in March 1968 at the Circus Krone Building in Munich with August Luisito and (at that time) the whiteface clown Kike.
Juanito Moreno died in 1986.
