Clowns/ Emmett Kelly


Ringling-Barnum Circus, San Francisco 9/9/41.

The elephant man with Universoul Circus was recently asked by my friend Cedric Walker that since he was the only white guy with the show, would he mind playing the part of the bus driver in the Rosa Parks Finale. He replied "How do you then expect me to ask $5 to ride the elephant after just having been booed off the stage?".

What kind of a Circus Finale would use this subject as an ending to their show? I know its an all Black Circus, but this seems to me to be a little much for this type of intertainment. All people are the same under the Big Top.

He looks SOOO young here. I never was a real clown fan but when I saw him perform I could not take my eyes off him. I even make a little joke about sweeping the kennel mess into a pile like he did the spot light. Some little thing always sticks with you about a great performer.
