Blew this photo up so I could read Don's very tiny notes.

Costume on the left was for the ladies who presented the liberty horses. Costume on right is for Duane Thorpe as "the kid's mother" drag in opening.

Thanks for confirming my thoughts on Duane's costume. ~frank

Prince Paul was the kid ala Buster Brown.
It was a very funny costume pairing "worked" by two of the masters of clowning.
There are photos of Duane and Paul floating around somewhere.
Coincidently, D and P were both from Massachusetts and both appeared in the motion picture, the GSOE.
