Jack Ray: Selling Glamour and Illusion

 

 

TRANSCRIPT

Fair for Britain (Question 5 - What contributions do you know of that Jack made to carnivals, amusement parks, Seattle World's Fair, Minsky's, Hollywood etc ?)

"A lot of fronts for that Fair for Britain that they had when the Ex was being used by the military and that big front he built for Terrell Jacobs Circus. I don't know what the deal was but Terrell ended up with that front and he used it on different shows he was on. He was on Royal American a couple of times and he was on Strates for a few years and he used that basic front and frame. Maybe Conklin sold it to him or it was part of the deal but that was around for quite a few years you know. It seemed to stand up, he (Ray) seemed to know what he was doing."
