About 60 years ago this week, this daub went up advertising Ringling Bros and
Barnum & Bailey's upcoming appearance at the Boston Garden in March of
1955. In the spring of 1955 this Strobridge version of the venerable "Leopard
Head" litho had only been used one previous season (1954). The original
"Leopartd Heard" design, however was first produced by artist George Howe as
part of a group of posters designed for Ringling Barnum by the Norman Bel Geddes
studios in 1941. The basic design was reworked over the years - including this
1954 version - and continued to be used into the 1970s, arguably spanning more
seasons than any other individual poster design - second only to the Lou Jacobs
"See You At the Greatest Show on Earth" poster which was first a part of the
litho hod in 1944 and, with a few slight variations, also used into the
1970s.

Interupted Melody at the "Astor"
& a TV Telecast of a prizefight
at the "Loew's State" would have
been done with very primitive TV
projection equipment like a Swiss
"Eidophor" (not for the film)
I meant to add that the movie in
"Cinemascope" was projected with
an anamorphic "scope" lens on a
standard projector
WT_???
What don't you understand kissy
Are the words too big for you
Maybe somebody can explain it to
you in simpler terms
I imagine klsdad means what does all this have to do with Chris' post about the Loepard head poster?
I don't understand either. Are you going to be as sarcastic with me as you were to klsdad?
Yup Dave I got it but he drives
me more nuts than I already am
He never seems to add anything of
value but is fast to criticize
I added some projection terms for
anyone who might care about such
things like Eric Beheim as other
pasted elements referred to them
I'll give you a call Dave when
I get the chance & I won't be
the least bit sarcsatic
As you both can see I spent some
time to research & find images
that related to Chris' great post
Perhaps folks who complain might
try to add some content here
I wish I knew who this kissy guy
is as I would love to speak with
him on the telephone but he hides
behind some cryptic slogan
I am fully aware "Buckles Blog"
(or Buckles Brigade as I call it)
is primarily intended for circus
related information but I find
interest in several other forms
of entertainment that shouldn't
wrankle the nonpaying guests
Some of what many of us get from
playing in Buckles Sandbox is the
chance to awaken some sleeping
memory cels as we recall elements
from our collective history & not
all of it is of common interest
Chic: If you're not sarcastic, how can I be sure it's you?
I only get two kinds of calls, butt chewings and aluminum siding hypes.
There is the age-old reminder in life endeavors, especially sports, that no one wins them all. Who, as seen here, proved the rule by the exception? Rocky Marciano. He remained undefeated as a prizefighter. He won them all.
Hello Ole Whitey..
We understand!!
Be careful.
klsdad
Have no fear Dave I won't let you
down or have any doubt it's me
Please kissy help me understand
How about a name to start with
I gave up being careful years ago
It seems to me that kissy must be
an extremely religious fellow
"A devout coward" or he would use
his real name here
