This wonderful photo was sent to me from Bob Isaacson. This was a friend of his that used a Cargyle figure that had carved hair but you can clearly see the face is the same as the figure I just added to the Ventriloquist Central Collection.

Ventriloquist Central is the brainchild of Dan Willinger and Steve Hurst. Dan is a ventriloquism enthusiast and ventriloquist figure collector. He has been collecting for over 25 years. He created the Ventriloquist Central Collection. It now has over 100 ventriloquist figures and over 50 of them are Frank Marshall figures. Steve is a ventriloquist as well as builder of ventriloquist figures. He also has a background in sales, marketing, building websites and computers. Because they both love the art of ventriloquism, the website Ventriloquist Central was born. For more information about the website, go to: http://www.ventriloquistcentral.com

Actually, Dan, this face is VERY different from the figure you got, it is not the same at all. This one in the photo look less like a caricature and more “realistic”; the one you got looks a lot more like Howdy Doody and is amazingly close in its looks like the ones Cargyle made for the Danny Kaye movie. Look again, Dan… ;)
For what it’s worth, Larry Woodale, along with W.S. Berger, and lots of dummies in the B.V.D. are mentioned in this U.C.L.A. piece of July 15, 1955 https://archive.org/stream/uclalibrarianv7to8univ/uclalibrarianv7to8univ_djvu.txt
