The new address is http://www.cartychronicles.com/Pepito_and_Joanne/Blog/Blog.html . I have posted a lot of information about Pepito the Spanish Clown (aka Jose Escobar Perez or Pepito Perez) and his wife and performing partner Joanne Perez (stage name Joan Falcy, birth name Margaret Janet Zettler). I recently purchased two boxes that I lovingly call the "Pepito and Joanne Archive" containing all their newspaper clippings and publicity photos, and will be scanning all this to add to my website incrementally. On my site, I also have several links to YouTube videos pertaining to Pepito.Melani Motzkus Cartyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01125871385408244307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28879641.post-22245299045245525262008-09-29T01:47:00.000-04:002008-09-29T01:47:00.000-04:00To get information and to see video of "Pepito the...To get information and to see video of "Pepito the Spanish Clown", visit my website under construction at:<BR/>http://www.cartychronicles.com/Pepito_and_Joanne/Welcome.html<BR/><BR/>For video of Pepito Perez in the "I Love Lucy" lost pilot, go to YouTube at the following links:<BR/>Part 1: http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=5dqxHq4f1pA<BR/>Part 2: http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=vjk3sYExmPQ<BR/>Part 3: http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=zL4WYJUUNQE<BR/>Part 4: http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=u9Zrtoz-T2cAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28879641.post-11361332913550108512008-05-07T09:25:00.000-04:002008-05-07T09:25:00.000-04:00Pepito also does the miniature bike in his routine...Pepito also does the miniature bike in his routine.

He, along with Buster Keaton created the Professor-cello Bit that Lucy took on a stage tour and later used as part of the pilot of 'I Love Lucy". I've been told that Pepito built the cello for Lucy and she worked out some of the bits and timing with Buster. Pepito also appeared on "I Love lucy" as a clown when they needed a few extra minutes of fill when an episode ran short. Pepito aslo provided the baby cries of little Ricky in some of the first baby episodes. When he passed away, his wife found a kinescope of the pilot episode that was used to show sponsors, and it was the only surviving copy and was presented as a TV special hosted by Lucie Arnaz, and later put out on video.<BR/><BR/>-GregAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
