Is this Tiny Gallagher in her pre-Galla Shawn days?

Of course this is from "Ring of Fear."

This has nothing do with the post. My 12 year old son was at the movies the other day and he saw poster for a new movie called "Mr. Woodcock". He called from a lobby phone to tell me and he said, "Buckles should see if he can get some kinda royalty from this." The business ain't dead yet!

Clyde was a class act whether in the ring or as you see him with Mickey Spillane.

You may recall that Pat O'Brien gave the eulogy at Mr Beatty's funeral.

On the 1981 Beatty show, we day-and-dated Pat O'Brien in Manassas, Virginia. He was working Dinner Theatre there, as many old-time movie actors were doing at the time. He came to visit the show, and at Intermission, Jimmy James introduced him to the audience. Jimmy helped the aged star clamber onto a bull tub, whereon he announced himself as 83 years old, and along with a brief history of his association with Mr. Beatty and the film RING OF FEAR, he advised the matinee audience to come see him at his show that evening.

As he was leaving, I awaited him on the midway. He saw me and hooked his cane over his arm to shake hands. I told him I'd worked for Mr. Beatty, and for some twenty minutes or so, he stood and unhurriedly passed the time of day with me. He reminded me he gave the eulogy at Mr. Beatty's services, and advised I might get a transcript from John Wayne's son, Michael. My efforts with Michael and Batjac Productions were without result. Mr. O'Brien was a relaxed, pleasant and jovial gentleman and shared stories of the filming with me, when he began to tire, and with another handshake, he begged off for a nap before his performance that night. What a memorable moment with Pat O'Brien.

By the way, if you want a little theatrical or movie wardrobe note: Always contrast your star with very different wardrobe. In this shot, O'Brien wears a darker suit than Mr. Beatty. In center, Beatty's is very light. At right, Mickey's is dark. Thus Mr. Beatty, standing center, is more noted. Notice this in countless shots of stars wearing black when eveyrone else is in lighter attire, or the star in light costuming, with supporting cast in dark colors.

In shots taken in those old dark Big Tops, trainers who wore colors such as red, green, blue, whatever, you need a magnifying glass to find some of them amid the props and animals. You had no such trouble finding Beatty in his tropical whites. When others faded away, he stood out.

This trick goes back to ancient staging, and you're welcome.
