Parley Baer

Sam Ward was in charge of all Promotion with Polack Bros. Circus and Parley handled the Publicity.
Barbara and I enjoyed many an afternoon at Parley and Earnestine's home in Tarzana.
He told one story about filming "The Young Lions" in Paris while they were having Breakfast at the Hotel before going out on Location.
An actress in the Cast leaped up from the table to greet an old friend and dumped a pot of scalding water into Marlon Brando's lap whereupon he leaped up, jerked down his trousers and shorts, grabbed a Seltzer Bottle and began spraying his crotch.
Parley said Dean Martin leaned over and said, "Let's all act like we don't know him!"

I met Parley while visiting

a Miller-Johnson date a few

years before Cliff bought it

He was a very outgoing guy

who made all feel welcomed

I always thought Parley would have made a great P. T. Barnum in a motion picture or T.V. movie.
