Was this Bo Bo Barnett of later years?

One picture in the suite seems to indicate a "tramp" clown character.

At least a portion of Roy Barrett's correspondence with shows is preserved today.

THANK YOU, BUCKLES!

You've just answered a question that drove Bill Strong and I crazy for years!!!

I have loads of photos of Mr. Barrett's whiteface but had no idea that he was the auguste in so many Hagenbeck-Wallace photos.

Barrett's correspondence with a variety of circuses, seeking or confirming performing positions, is filed in the CWM library.
