"Otto" #8

I'm sure Whitey and others remember wrestler Jimmy Ray who later
was a General Agent for several shows.
Otto managed to get out of makeup in time to referee the wrestling
match in the concert every day. He always knew how to pick up a few
extra bucks.

I think I told the story here before of the Cristiani show playing Appleton about the same time as Adams Bros, which had already billed the town and Jimmy Ray had stayed around to protect their paper.

One young Cristiani lithographer (not me) said he wasn't going to let some washed-up wrestler scare him but while he was putting a half-sheet in a window this big muscular arm reached across him and snatched the poster down.

The guy turned a pale white and wasn't any good for the rest of the day.
