I seem to recall reading that Pat O’Brien spoke the eulogy at Clyde Beatty’s funeral.

Was this just the film wardrobe or

did he change to all white later

Gloves Shirt Jodpers & Pith Helmet

with the black Belts & Boots

Chic: Maybe Roger will address this as he has some info on it. All I know is that Beatty wore this style outfit for a year or two and is seen in at least one other movie (Perils of the Jungle) wearing it.

Beatty's son-in-law Bud Ferguson once commented to me that he (Bud) liked this better than the whites but I always liked the signature whites.

At Beatty's death several writers referred to him as the man in white or the figure in white.

My 1st awareness of him & all the

details of his performance was in

61 as head frontlight operator in

Commack as a 1st of May

It was certainly eye catching

& obviously copied by at least

Pat Anthony & Dave Hoover
