Bruce Davidson took many photos of the “Clyde Beatty Hamid-Morton Circus” during its Palisades Park stand in 1958. Most of the photos were taken in the backyard, but this picture was taken under the big top – evidently at the conclusion of a clown gag. To me it looks like clown Jimmy Armstrong has just stolen the balloons from the concessionaire who is chasing him.

I thought there was a place on the website for people to post news bits, etc. Am I mistaken?
Thanks Tony. The CHS is building a new Q & A forum for members that will be called the “Jackpot Junction.” Jackpot Junction will be located in the Back Yard (members-only) section of the CHS website. We expect that it will be available in early April 2021.
