Eddie Dullom (with an "O")
| This is my dad and "Kay" with Kelly-Miller in 1950.
The five rings were pre-set with planks in each end, globes in rings 2 & 4 and a bottle-walk in the center. The last five elephants in spec "Jenny", "Hattie" "Barbara", "Anna May" and "Kay" (that he had trained the previous winter) would continue right on into the rings and become the opening act. This cart was built high enough for the axle to clear the bottles. Does Eddie look scared shitless? You bet he does. On more than one occasion "Kay" would get hung up the shafts coming down from her head stand and tip the cart over. |

Ring Of Fear Synopsis #24 (From Eric Beheim)
| Although usually successful in keeping his psychotic outbursts under control while around others, O’Malley is occasionally provoked into revealing his true nature, such as during a confrontation with an old show hand who catches him tormenting one of Clyde’s tigers. These occasional lapses do not go unnoticed by the observant Jack Stang.
