It's always great to see images and learn about shows we're not very familiar with.Keep it up, Buckles.
Did Art Concello buy the show
from the Webbs or did he frame
another version of Russell Bros
I have a few program sheets
from 44 that shows many familiar
names of management & performers
including Clyde Beatty
Frank McClosky as manager
Roland Butler & Bill Antes
Robert Reynods & V Barbette
George Werner & Henry Kyes
Orrin Davenport & Mac MacDonald
Quite an impressive team
I had opportunity to
know several of these
Bob Reynolds was the
General Superintendant
& George "Pops" Werner
was Boss Canvas on the
Beatty Show early 60s
Frank McClosky was the
lead of the 3 partners
& obviously Clyde Beatty
Gone but not forgotten
Sincerest thanks to Buckles and his indispensable blog, and to Mrs. Barbara Woodcock for being so generous with her time and her wonderful memories.
If anyone would like to buy their own copy of The Russell Brothers Scrapbook, please email us at info@russellbrotherscircus.com.
I think there was an article in the Bandwagon that Art went in though the back door and came out the front and told the Webbs he would give them so much and the took it.
And he made money every year he had it.
