Did any (or maybe all) of these
end up on the Beatty Show as I
recall several of these names
Weren't these the wedding gift of
Ben Davenport to his daughter when
she married Pete Cristiani
Looks like Barbara & Rex maybe in
Chicago
The Beatty-Cole show bought the five-act the inter of 1959-1960. Steve Fanning came over with them. For some reason Konti was called Bonnie for a time.
Could that name have been tribute
to Walter Kernan's wife (at least
until he died in 62) Bonnie sold
her interest to Art Concello late
in 65 & he brought many changes
& some new talent in 66 but gave
up the good fight & cashed in at
the end of that season
I think it was Rex that changed it
back to Konti when he took over
Where were Oscar's elephants from
when I was on the King show the girls were Sid,, ola ..and Konti..
