Guilfoyle, John reduced 8x10 (From Javier Garcia)


Guilfoyle, John reduced 8x10, originally uploaded by bucklesw1.


Here are some items from the John Guilfoyle Scrapbook Collection – courtesy of Leah Malasko. I’m not absolutely sure about the dates and descriptions on all of these, but they’re close enough for now.

The photo described (file named) as:

“1933 1016 Clyde Beatty with Hagenbeck-Wallace San Antonio John Helliot far right”

should probably read “From left to right: Manuel King’s father, W.A. ‘Snake’ King of Brownsville, John C. Guilfoyle, Clyde Beatty and John Helliot October 16, 1933. Beatty was with the Hagenbeck-Wallace show in San Antonio.”

I have Ol’ Whitey to thank for the date, time and identification of Helliot on that one.

Keep up the good work. I have been visiting your blog regularly and enjoying all that you post. I realize it might take you a while to post these if you decide to and that’s all right.

Best regards,
