1944 Chicago Program #4

A side-by-side comparison of the Chicago program and the “official” 1944 Ringling program reveals some slight changes in the production staff credits. In the 1944 program, for example, Bert Knapp, (who had helped compose the special spec music) is listed as Director of Music and Merle Evans is listed only as Bandmaster. In the Chicago program, Bert Knapp is listed as Musical Composer and Merle Evans is now listed as Director of Music.
