Old Time Radio - Children Kids Shows - Jerry Of The Circus

In 1937-38 Bruce Eells and his Broadcasters Program Syndicate put together a pair of charming serials about an orphaned boy, Jerry Dugan. - Jerry is all alone in the world except for his dog, Rags. Just before Jerry’s Dad passed away he writes a letter to Mr. Randall, owner of the Randall Brother’s Circus. He asks that if anything happens to him, he hopes that Mr. Randall will take in Jerry. He states in the letter that Jerry “has Circus in his blood.” Jerry is quickly befriended by most of the circus performers and crew, especially Bumps the Clown. The knife-thrower, Lorenz, is the exception. He takes an immediate dislike to Jerry and especially Rags. Bumps comes to the rescue by making Rags a part of his act. Another good friend of Jerry’s is Decker, part of the knife throwing act and an animal trainer. We learn that Lorenz has some sort of hold over Decker involving bribery and blackmail. Part of Decker’s problem is a case of amnesia- when he recovers he realizes that he is Jerry’s long lost uncle!The radio circus is a good life, but really no place for a bright boy with great potential to grow up. Decker is about to go on a hunting expedition and has Mr. Randall legally made Jerry’s guardian. Together they decide that the best thing for Jerry is to enroll him in a Military Academy which leads to further adventure: Jerry at Fair Oaks.- Characters: Jerry Dougan; Rags, Jerry's dog; Mr. Randall - owner of the Circus (Linsey McHarrie); Bumps, the clown (Howard Mcnear); Patsy - the trapeze artist (Elvis Aldman); Jason - the large cat trainer; Carmen Bandini, tightrope walker; Major Mike who regards himself as the star attraction; Decker/Dan Dougan who turns out to be Jerry's uncle; Lorenz - the knife-throwing who controls Decker through bribery; Clara , the costumer; Johnny Bradley, Shakespearean clown.
