Don Curtis pictures #2


Since these pictures of Bumpsey are shown in "full front" and "profile" fashion they come across as Mug Shots in a way which adds to the humor. He and Happy Kellems looked the same in street clothes as they did in makeup.
I was talking on the phone yesterday to a friend who was on the Ringling Show during the time after the Felds bought the show. He said Bumpsy applied for a job but was turned over to a bean counter and told he would have to audition first and he walked away.

This makes me think of the damage done to business when a person with money buys a business they know nothing about. They distroy something that can not be replaced. The only person who always did something to make the circus better was our own JC. He always has top animal acts and is like a big kid when he brings something new to the circus. And he does listen to what you have to say. He deserves a lot more credit then what he gets. I don't think he really cares about the bad things a/r people say about him. He is enjoying the circus life to the fullest. The last of that big spender group for the circus. He is one who will be greatly missed. I would love to have a photo of every animal act he has brought to the circus in the past 50 years.
