Here's a wacky photo of a clown at Disneyland in December, 1955, the year the park opened. He’s promoting the Disneyland Circus. I'll be adding more photos here and on my regular website once I get a little more time.
The clown is actually Chucko the Clown who appeared on one of the local Los Angeles TV stations (I believe channel 11) showing cartoons. There is a wonderful Disneyland Hotel menu featuring his face as the menu. I also think he was part of the Mickey Mouse Club Circus at Disneyland.

Thanks for the info, Matterhorn - checking out your pics is part of my morning routine!

Ohhhh... that's terrifying and awesome! Thanks for posting!
Hopefully posting these will redeem me from my dreaded nemesis status - have any requests on photos, Tangaroa?
Yeah! Interiors of Space Station X-1 and the theater interiors from 'The World Beneath Us' please...!
Tangaroa - you have stumped me on that one. So far, I have not seen anything from either one of those. Sorry!
That's OK - it was an impossible request. No one has those (OK - WDI photo library has one interior of X-1, it's in 'The Nickel Tour').
