Once upon a time, there were Bozo the Clowns all over the country. Entrepreneur Larry Harmon franchised the show and in each of several cities, a TV station would hire its own local Bozo and then Harmon would supply scripts and costumes and Bozo cartoons to show. This clip is from the Boston version which ran on WHDH from 1959-1970. That's a man named Frank Avruch in the clown suit but of greater interest is the guy in the lion suit who draws cartoons about two-thirds of the way through this montage of scenes. His name then was Ed Spinney but he's now better known as Caroll Spinney, the man inside or under Big Bird and Oscar the Grouch.
