I WAS going to leave this alone, but have to address Roger's comment - Clown College taught that your face was an extension of your own physical feature. I remember Bill Ballentine commenting that you were not creating a mask, like they did for Jimmy Stewart in the GSOE movie, but an extension and exaggeration of your own features. Personally, I didn't really care for this fellows face, (gee - that sounded harsh!) but, it's still HIS face. Mine evolved from whiteface to tramp to Auguste by the time I finally came off the road. Have a GREAT weekend, one and all! ~frank
I would like to to say to Roger Smith that some of the Teachers at Clown School where great American Clowns. And I dont know to much about clown make up.

Wonder if he does birthday parties
Must have been in a hurry. Forgot the other 2/3 of his makeup.
Now THAT's a make-up issue...
I won't start that up again
Good decision.
Another of the latter-day clown-school make-ups.
As Chuck Burnes lamented long ago, "Does anyone remember what an American circus clown make-up looks like?"
Their make-ups fit their faces, and had character, rather than the picture-perfect paste-on appliques that came out of the Felds clown school.
