Sparks Circus 1947/ Ernie Burch


Mr. Burch was immortalized some time later when responding to the announcement "Is there a nurse in the house?".

Ernie Burch, as we see here again, was a master of any makeup he applied. His sense of humor included not just the dual balloons, but additional twin features demanding notice. His fame was assured by his "Blinko" whiteface, so nicknamed by Cecil B. DeMille, who gave him a speaking role, and featured him in "The Greatest Show On Earth" picture. (Would DeMille feature any of Kenny's "school clowns"?) Some may remember Ernie's schoolmate in NJ was Jerry Levitch, a skinny, funny Jewish kid, who hit the big time as Jerry Lewis. Roger
