Bill Lipton reads and records the speech Tex O'Rourke (the son of a circus artist, a boxer and a fighter who became a jester and roastmaster) wrote and delivered for the celebration of Bobby Clark's career in show business at the Lambs Club on December 11, 1954. O'Rourke traces Clark's rise to stardom from his early days in Springfield, Ohio when he teamed up with Paul McCullough and toured the country for meager earnings gradually gaining fame and popularity in vaudeville/burlesque/comedy until McCullough's suicide in March 1936 after which Clark went on performing successfully on his own.
