My dad at work, circa 1957, Chicago. Brought forward for the "Bring on the Clowns" theme in the Vintage Photos Theme Park.
My father trained as an actor and moved to radio/tv for the steady employment. For a couple of years he was called on to co-host a popular afternoon t.v. show for children. His co-host is also featured in the photo. Dad hated the gig but the extra income was welcome. The chimp was not easy to work with and once bit him on the cheek, on-air, in the middle of a commercial announcement for a candy bar. The chimp wanted the candy. I was in 6th grade at the time and often gleefully accused of being dad's co-host by my classmates. There are a few more of these publicity shots adjacent to this one that are pretty funny as well.
