From Bob Good
My Dad took this photo.
Story was that Mistin kicked Casey Stengel in the
shins after meeting him. I remember him trying to throw me out of one of those
old beach chairs in the backyard. Charlie Morosky's son rescued
me.
I am pretty sure Mistin later was Ralph Heid who
played all over Europe and wrote the theme for Circus Renz. It is a great piece
and has been played by orchestas. It is worth a listen on You Tube. I have
been trying for years to get to the bottom of this Mistin mystery.
Mistin may not have gone over in the States but
Heid was on many shows in Europe. He died a few years ago. goodcir@ptd.net is my email if you wish to
correspond about this.

Isn't this Mr Mistin & just what
did he do in performance
I was not on the show his seasons, but I believe it is Mr. Minston Jr.(spelling?) the xylophone playing child. Others will be more familiar with him. Jackie LeClaire
Yes, supposedly a child prodigy and played the xylophone on a raised platform in the center ring. I recall hearing that he was a little SOB in the backyard. Got to look out for those short ones right Chic?! (Michu)
Paul: I heard the same thing. One friend of ours said the kid once kicked him in the shins.
Funny shot composition with that
rope tail between his legs
You're right Paul as that little
jerk was also known to kick shins
& run like hell (little bastard)
