The epaulets & trim
give you a look like
a high class doorman
(not a bad outfit)
Taxi please Sir?
The guy bringing up the rear has Wallace Beery's old job.
That was me a lot in Venice..
I was waiting for someone to ask who Wallace Beery was, but our readers wised up long ago.
1 of my early film memories
was that of Long John Silver
but in 1902 Wallace Beery was
16 when he joined out with the
Ringling Brothers Circus as an
assistant in the elephant dept
You don't start out as an Assistant!
As Rex Williams would say, You shovel ____ and holler "Steady!"
Sorry Buckles but I just
copied & pasted that from
his bio I found online
Still have a shovel or pitchfork in my hands everyday, some things never change..
