Slap Stick Comedy

From cowboys to comedy but comedy was his forte. On the 101 he did a comedy act with a burro, plus clowning. He was very funny.

Bill Caress is on the right. Really don’t know what this scene is about, but it looks like someone is going to get hit with a rolling pin. I am guessing that Bill started his career in acting in 1926,or 27.

Bill Caress sits at the bottom left with a Banjo in his lap, between the two ladies. I believe he was part of a comedy trio. His wife Golden Caress Hagethron was part of that trio. Dave Chestnut and I are looking for any information on the following:
Billy Lorette, Joe Louis and Jess Willard, All were performers on the 101 Ranch and Sells Floto Circus. They are an important part of the book Dave is writing.
