00:00:28.580 --> 00:00:29.980
You

2
00:00:49.400 --> 00:00:50.800
You

3
00:01:28.580 --> 00:01:29.980
You

4
00:01:35.960 --> 00:01:37.360
You

5
00:02:00.340 --> 00:02:01.740
Yeah

6
00:02:30.660 --> 00:02:35.620
For 15 years John Carson and Jean Furella were in love

7
00:02:35.620 --> 00:02:39.360
They would meet and sigh and part broken-hearted

8
00:02:39.360 --> 00:02:43.040
like lovers crossed by fate through the ages

9
00:02:43.040 --> 00:02:47.440
For there was a barrier between them that seemed insuperable

10
00:02:48.340 --> 00:02:52.160
The barrier that kept the lovers apart was a long

11
00:02:52.160 --> 00:02:54.440
luxuriant dark

12
00:02:54.440 --> 00:02:55.740
silky beard

13
00:02:56.900 --> 00:03:01.440
The couple discussed their plight one day with a mutual friend of long-standing

14
00:03:01.440 --> 00:03:06.780
The friend is Alex Linton who is famous all over the United States and many foreign countries

15
00:03:07.540 --> 00:03:10.620
Where he has thrilled countless thousands with his artistry?

16
00:03:11.380 --> 00:03:14.700
Mr. Linton is a swallower of swords

17
00:03:15.540 --> 00:03:19.080
he works in circuses and in carnivals and

18
00:03:19.080 --> 00:03:25.720
Mr. Linton miraculously came up with a solution of the problem that had been solely trying his two friends for so many years

19
00:03:27.260 --> 00:03:31.660
Why not said Mr. Linton have your beard removed?

20
00:03:32.660 --> 00:03:34.980
You say that you want to stay in show business

21
00:03:34.980 --> 00:03:43.800
Well suppose you remove your beard and then while it is being done you get yourself tattooed

22
00:03:43.800 --> 00:03:48.680
Mr. Linton leaned forward in his seat tense with the excitement of his inspired thought

23
00:03:48.680 --> 00:03:55.720
But careful nonetheless of the wicked blade he had been cleaning after his sword-swallowing act

24
00:03:57.440 --> 00:03:59.020
Then he continued

25
00:03:59.020 --> 00:04:07.200
You will still be able to work in circuses and carnivals because you will be just as great an attraction to the public

26
00:04:07.200 --> 00:04:14.700
Maybe even a greater attraction a tattooed lady is an even greater rarity than a bearded lady

27
00:06:01.560 --> 00:06:02.680
Oh

28
00:06:11.960 --> 00:06:14.880
Good evening ladies and gentlemen

29
00:06:15.640 --> 00:06:17.640
When I remove my robe

30
00:06:18.200 --> 00:06:24.340
To your amazement you will gaze upon a body that's pretty well covered

31
00:06:24.340 --> 00:06:26.060
With all

32
00:06:26.060 --> 00:06:29.720
beautiful work of art as

33
00:06:29.720 --> 00:06:34.340
Bob Ripley always says in his column believe it or not

34
00:06:34.340 --> 00:06:38.060
I do have a little bit more than

35
00:06:38.600 --> 00:06:41.040
700 I'm

36
00:06:41.040 --> 00:06:47.040
Going to name some of the beautiful designs for you the right eye

37
00:06:47.040 --> 00:06:49.020
by crowning all thorns

38
00:06:50.020 --> 00:06:54.820
The little red cross nurse of no man's land

39
00:06:54.820 --> 00:06:58.360
the left eye the rock of ages

40
00:06:59.020 --> 00:07:04.580
American Beauty and all her maidens when I turn around

41
00:07:04.580 --> 00:07:07.700
You will see on my back

42
00:07:07.700 --> 00:07:14.640
One of the largest design that ever was placed upon the human body

43
00:07:14.640 --> 00:07:16.460
And will you see my hand?

44
00:07:17.680 --> 00:07:19.440
That's where that design ends

45
00:07:23.800 --> 00:07:24.920
and

46
00:07:24.920 --> 00:07:32.800
That is the world's famous picture of the holy family in full detail

47
00:07:32.800 --> 00:07:34.700
That design took me

48
00:07:35.340 --> 00:07:41.080
Six months to have it done the reason why you took so long

49
00:07:41.080 --> 00:07:47.060
Because each figure was placed there one at a time

50
00:07:47.060 --> 00:07:51.580
The only parts of my body that isn't

51
00:07:52.180 --> 00:07:57.460
Tattooed that from the elbows down and from my collar then up

52
00:07:58.160 --> 00:08:01.420
The rest of my body it is

53
00:08:02.300 --> 00:08:03.820
completely covered

54
00:08:14.360 --> 00:08:15.080
It

55
00:08:15.080 --> 00:08:20.520
Was 18 years ago said John Carson that I first laid eyes on Jean

56
00:08:21.380 --> 00:08:26.080
She had just joined our show the Hagenbach and Wallace circus

57
00:08:26.080 --> 00:08:30.180
It was and she was 14 years old and beautiful

58
00:08:30.740 --> 00:08:33.700
What I mean is she had a gorgeous figure

59
00:08:34.740 --> 00:08:36.600
But she had this beard

60
00:08:37.180 --> 00:08:44.400
There are a lot of girls around a circus, you know a lot of beautiful girls, but I could never take my mind off Jean

61
00:08:44.900 --> 00:08:47.300
even with the beard

62
00:08:48.340 --> 00:08:52.840
Mr. Carson shook his head roof. I loved her

63
00:08:53.380 --> 00:08:58.540
But I just couldn't bring myself to make love to her. I just couldn't kiss her

64
00:08:59.340 --> 00:09:01.280
It always seemed to me

65
00:09:01.280 --> 00:09:03.620
It would be like kissing my uncle

66
00:09:03.820 --> 00:09:03.820


67
00:09:24.960 --> 00:09:30.380
Misses John Carson the former Jean Cruella had tears in her eyes

68
00:09:30.380 --> 00:09:35.980
Although she was smiling joyfully as she told the story of the happy solution of her dilemma

69
00:09:38.280 --> 00:09:45.300
I was one of the few real honest-to-goodness bearded ladies in the business she said

70
00:09:46.060 --> 00:09:49.220
Most of the bearded ladies you see around are fakers

71
00:09:49.900 --> 00:09:51.320
And I was happy

72
00:09:51.320 --> 00:09:55.240
Except that I loved John here and he loved me

73
00:09:55.240 --> 00:10:00.760
But he just couldn't see his way clear to marry me while I had a beard

74
00:10:25.240 --> 00:10:25.260
Oh

75
00:10:55.240 --> 00:10:55.360
Oh

76
00:11:25.240 --> 00:11:25.240


77
00:11:55.240 --> 00:11:55.240


78
00:12:25.240 --> 00:12:25.240


79
00:12:33.000 --> 00:12:35.500
Jean laughs I

80
00:12:35.500 --> 00:12:43.140
Never did get kissed she said until three years ago when my beard was finally all off and John and I became engaged

81
00:12:44.100 --> 00:12:50.980
It was just like I always thought it would be it was like electricity

82
00:12:55.240 --> 00:12:55.840
You

83
00:13:29.220 --> 00:13:29.660
Know

84
00:13:29.660 --> 00:13:32.920
Ladies and gentlemen the last and the final portion of the act is now coming up

85
00:13:33.640 --> 00:13:36.400
Which is my version of the eyeball twist

86
00:13:36.400 --> 00:13:41.340
Speaking of a twist incidentally you actually first gonna see the left and then the right

87
00:13:41.340 --> 00:13:47.080
First the left and then the right one right behind the other one within the tempers and the rotations to a twist beat

88
00:13:47.800 --> 00:13:49.680
Check it out ladies and gentlemen, okay?

89
00:13:56.180 --> 00:14:01.400
Okay, may I be free to say to each and everyone thank you all very much and hey, please
