Hunt Bros. Cirus #3


HUNT, originally uploaded by bucklesw1.

Is the man on the left Harry Hunt, it's dated, Mon. July 21, 1952--Warren, R.I. The man on the right is Dudly Streeter, and the picture was taken by Jim McKenna, if that means anything.

Bill,
I don't believe this is Harry, I met him when I was on the new Hunt show, I could be mistaken. I think he would have been younger when this picture was taken. I'm sure Mary Ruth would know. His favorite pastime was driving around the lot in his station wagon honking his horn for the wake up call. Nontheless, he was an enjoyable old gent.

Erik,

I visited the Hunt Brothers Circus, "Spirit of 76" edition once in south Jersey. Mary Ruth and Weiner were there along with Herbie Weber and Marcella (sp?).

Small world, isn't it?

Mike,
I had just spent 4 seasons on Uncle Sid's show where Herbie had the ex on the floss, when I arrived at Hunt's I asked who had the ex on the floss, Herbie just smiled, he had beaten me again. It was a good program with Mary Ruth, Heidi and Weiner; Herbie and Marcella; Barry Miller; Mary Wise; and Dolly the elephant. I believe Billy Martin joined later. This was 1977. I remember that for the most part we did not show on Sundays.
