I found this at a NY children's website below and see if this doesn't bring back memories. I heard a rumor that Mary Harline became a nun. Is there any truth to this? *Super Circus* <http://www.tvparty.com/g2/SUPERCIRCUS.ram>. Super Circus began in 1949 from Chicago on ABC. The blonde assistant was Mary Hartline in a majorette costume, often twirling batons. There were 3 clowns: Cliff Sobier as "Cliffy", Nicky Francis as "Nicky" and 2 people playing "Scampy", Bardy Patton and Sandy Dobritch. In 1955, the show moved to New York where Jerry Colonna (big eyes and huge mustache) took over as Ringmaster with Sandy Wirth as his assistant.
