Comments / pictures After the Dailey Show closed in 1950 Charlie was sold to Gran Circo Union in Mexico. Smokey Jones took him down there. I could write a book on the stories Smokey later told about Charlie's adventures and misadventures while down there. I think he eventually died on that show. Buckles Woodcock
