Ring Of Fear Synopsis #12 (From Eric Beheim)

Using Twitchy as his unwilling accomplice, O’Malley carries out additional acts of mayhem and sabotage, causing the show folk to believe that the Beatty Circus is jinxed. Here, Twitchy tries unsuccessfully to convince several of his fellow clowns that there is no jinx.

Due to budgetary constraints, most of the “accidents” and acts of mayhem engineered by O’Malley take place off camera. RING OF FEAR has no equivalent of TGSOE’s spectacular train wreck.

I think that's Lawrence Cross in the middle. He was around there for years.

Yes it is and Eddie Dullem at right.
I like the story John Herriott tells about the time he and Jimmy Reynolds were at Disney World with the Gil Gray Circus and Lawrence Cross visited the show.
That evening at the Hotel Lounge Jimmy said,"Isn't that Lawrence Cross? I've trouped with that guy for over 20 years but never had a chance to talk to him,
Whereupon he slid off his bar stool, crawled on all fours behind several patrons, raised up and bit Lawrence on the ass!
After one loud scream he arose and said, "Hello! I'm Jimmy Reynolds!"

Any word on what the Cole show is going to do? Looks like their route is right through the area being hit.

In 1964, CBCB skipped New Orleans to avoid a huge hurricane and went back after the season end to play it, because the advance was huge.

Bob: We were billing Lake Charles the day Hurricane Carla hit in 1961. I was lithographing the inside of windows while the store owners were outside nailing up plywood. We managed to get out of town before the worst of it and the date was never played.

Correction:
Now $80,000 in blown dates on account of hurricane.

Harry Kingston has pointed out that I was in error about Lake Charles not being played after Hurricane Carla came in the fall of 1961.

The part about the plywood was correct.

.500 is not a bad batting average.
