CLOWN ALLEY: RBB&B, Bellvue Hospital (1931)


DR CIRCUS COMES TO TOWN


I've posted some of this footage before, but this is SOUND footage. In it we see Ernie Wiswell performing his Comedy Car act, a pre-Otto and Freddie Boxing gag and Felix Adler performing the Hair Grower as Jack LeClair looks on.

I always wondered if the clowns did any actual talking back in the "golden era of the American circus." Now we know!

This is great stuff, Pat. Thanks for sharing, especially the comedy car routine. Goes to show once again that there little new under the sun.
