In the past you may recall that we’ve posted a few blogs about the ventriloquist Francisco Sanz.
Some of the information in those blogs was shared by Marcelo Melison and Ignacio Ramos. Ignacio, sent us some new information:
Dear friends,
I think I have found the dummy Francisco Sanz gave to Wences around 1936. I have posted the information in my website on ventriloquist Francisco Sanz.
Bob Abdou sent us this email and article that he wrote about another fellow ventriloquist, Bob Conrad.
Hey Dan and Steve
Don’t know when the Puppeteers of America website will update to the newest issue www.puppeteers.org
But here is the current issue article on Bob Conrad and his incredible life
written by moi (that’s me in French)
Enjoy
Bob
Back in the 1930’s to 50’s the Gilbert Clock Company produced alarm clocks with Charlie McCarthy’s face with the mouth that opened and closed with the ticking seconds.
Most that we see are the standard alarm style clock done in a cream clock. They did come in red and blue too but most were cream.

I could not believe it but another Ken Spencer arrived at the Ventriloquist Central Collection and was again in need of restoration.
This head had been painted white and and also had some dings and dongs so I set about to doing another fix on him.
Ventriloquist David Malmberg sent in this article that appeared a few months ago to share with everyone.
