Wayne Newman Bears 1970


This picture taken with King Bros. Circus while showing outdoors for some reason. Good shot of the band too.

Is it possible that the bandleader is Charlie Stevenson? I don't know if he was on King Bros. Circus.

Newman's Bears ; what a character. His feature trick was a bear doing a handstand . The bear hopped on a table , a big drum roll , the bear hopped into a handstand, Wayne would take his band hat and throw it 20 feet straight up in the air and yell out " How about that " .I remember this well as I worked in a display with him . Also his daughter and son-in-law worked a bear act. He always stole the show when the band hat went into the air ! The show was either Eddy Zachini or Harold Voise if memory serves me right. Wayne inherited a sum of money and invested it in his retirement rather than purchasing a 45 foot ,6 push out, winnabago. A great guy and his family to visit with and have a serious laugh, a good prankster,
