Is this on the Beatty rail show? Who are all the people? I recognize some but can't place names with many. Isn't that Johnny Cline lighting a cigarette at the far right corner of the table with his wife Milonga Escalante on his right?

Familiar faces beside Johnny and Malonga are Gee Gee at left, across from her tipping back the beer is Billy.
On each side of Rosie is one of the Sleeter sisters and husband Fay.
In front at left is Bobby Yerkes.

Dick, yes, that's Johnny Cline lighting up. When Harriett Beatty died on the train, in 1950, it fell to Johnny to break the news to Mr. Beatty after his matinee performance.

I last worked with Johnny on Howard Suesz, in Wichita, Kansas, in '75.

That is my father John Cline on the right lighting up, but next to him, to the left center is my Aunt Esther Escalante and her husband Louis Katz. On the left, second from the front, I think, is my Aunt Yolanda Escalante. I also recognize Jerry from the DeWayne Troupe on the right front

Kathy, nice to know you've discovered this site. Sure wish I had taken some photos of the show rather than just all those posters in the library! Remember when you and [senior moment--I've forgotten her name! Debbie?] helped hold up some tall posters for me to photograph? Shall I post the full image with two heads beaming smiles above the old posters?! Sure remember the skill you two had in getting me to take you to Chula Vista! How are your mom and your brothers?
