Really enjoyed Buster Keaton's "Sherlock Jr." this evening!

streaming on Prime or Netflix - a bad print but I remember loving it when I saw it before.

the ringling clowns were mostly based on chuck jones cartoons. most of their female clowns were based on betty boop.
the clown development classes watched cartoons.

know someone who’s a 10yr big top veteran.
