There are a whole bunch of Super Circus 78s on Mercury with Claude, the
clowns, AND, of course, the gorgeous Mary Hartline.  Her first husband
was bandleader Harold Stokes.  There are also oodles of web sites for
her.  Start here:

There are links there, but the link to her official website is not
working.  But it can be found thru the WayBack Machine.

There are some Super Circus kines here:

She's at 11:30 in, but the first act also shows why this program was a
favorite among dads!  And the pole dancer act in the last ten minutes is
pretty nifty too. 

And there is a picture of Mary as a brunette in Rich Samuels' site.

 but some of her other early photos might have dark hair but it is hard
to be sure.
