Ringling Elephant Empress #2


This is a nice shot of Kay Clark and Paul Jerome with "Big Modoc" in the mid 1940's. Unless I'm mistaken Miss Clark was a Drum Majorette that North hired, the show carried tall Ziegfeld type show girls that were great for publicoty photos like this. Didn't she marry Jack Burslem the pie car guy (Hamburger Jack)?
The caption above the picture says "Ruth" but it's not.

Once long ago, wish I could remember exactly where, I saw an entire photo campaign featuring Kay Clark. Another example of rare beauty.

This is Paul Jerome's classic whiteface makeup. He was a versatile performer, equally famous for his tramp character.
