was this Cheerful Gardner and if so where did he get the name Cheerful ? CleanRaul
Bill Johnston wrote a lengthy biography of Frank "Cheerful" Gardner that appears in "Bandwagon," journal of the Circus Historical Society, XXXV, 2, pages 29-33.
I can't remember who told me that the name was a joke on his commonly dour look (not gospel by any stretch)
