1973 Red Show #1 (From Eric Beheim)


Ringling 1973-1, originally uploaded by bucklesw1.

When the 103rd Red Unit Edition played San Diego in 1973, I was still on active duty in the Navy, serving on board the aircraft carrier USS RANGER. The ship must have been in port that weekend, since I was able to make it down to see the show. That year, I shot 16mm movie footage during the performance and outside in the backyard. (If Buckles’ “Magic Lantern” is ever revived, this footage will be made available for everyone to see.)


"There are 23 pictures in this outstanding set which will be concluded tomorrow."

Eric,

If there is any footage of the clown gags from that show PLEASE contact me at cashincomedy@yahoo.com. I'd love to post them on clownalley.net!

Thanks,
Pat
