Is this Cotton Fenner

Roger Smith said...

Yes. His book was an ego-tripping rip-off of excerpts from other circus books, composed as if he had accomplished something in publishing.

When I was Ambassador of Mirth for Ringling in the middle 60's, I was pretty much under Cotton Fenner's rules. He was a real gentleman to work for and very knowledgeable. He ruled for the Feld's when ever they were producing Ringling. Very good memories. Jackie LeClaire
