Clyde Jr was born in January

of 52 so I would guess this

might have been 55 or 56

when he was 3 or 4

semi retirement (like myself) in

Oxnard California with his partner

Debbie Pech but has spent much time

in China where he has taught the

many details of carving & creating

his world famous surfboards

This is the RING OF FEAR wardrobe Warner Bros. designed for him, in late 1953, for the 1954 release. Jane Beatty told me they had plans to market similar sets to kids, like many pop culture icons of the day were doing. He already had Eveready battery and Canadian whisky ads, guest articles in periodicals, photo features in Sunday supplements, a radio series, and comic books to round out his merchandising. Some photos have him continuing this wardrobe style beyond the movie. Frankly, I never liked it, feeling it was a mistake to wear darker hues in the cage under a Big Top. Terrell Jacobs also wore darker colors at times, and he was hard to find among the cats. I was glad to see Beatty return to his standard whites.
