His clown name was Tata. He was the grandfather of the Escalante family. Milonga, Blackie and so on. I believe this photo was taken in Mexico.

Back yard shot of  Lorena Escalante and Milonga Escalante Cline. Milonga’s husband was Johnny Cline. Here again I think the show is Russell Bros. Late 1940’s.

These are the Esaclante clowns. I wish I knew their names, but Lorena Escalante sits in the middle of them.
