The Ringmaster
Posted By thecircusblog on March 16, 2009
I remember Cleo Plunket well as he had the gift of being well spoken and his announcing was always flattering to the performers. We were on the Hubert Castle show in 1966 together. o make a long story short, we were five weeks into the season back east in February. It was freezing! Cleo got sick with a very bad cold. His voice was giving out and not knowing not what to do someone said drink a little hot brandy with lemon juice in it……his cold got worse but he was feeling better. Hubert heard that I had done voice-overs for radio spots so I was elected to mc the show.I must say I enjoyed it. I did the chimp act in the show as well. A Bill Strong photo.
