Item Description
15" tall hard plastic doll has sleep eyes and moveable arms w/"Mary" name in heart on dress top. This is store version, not the smaller 7" premium version. Original outfit, complete w/fancy leatherette boots w/tassels. Ideal, c. 1955. "Super Circus" was a TV program that aired live on ABC 1949-1956. The award-winning show featured circus and clown acts performing in front of a studio audience. Mary Hartline and Claude Kirchner were the hosts (Jerry Colonna succeeded Kirchner as "Ringmaster" in the final season), and Bruce Chase conducted the band. Show sponsors included Kellogg's Corn Flakes, Mars, Inc., Canada Dry Ginger Ale and Sweetheart Soap. Hartline, known for her short skirts, white boots and long blonde hair, became one of TV's first sex symbols, spawning merchandise such as dolls like the one offered here. Boots have some aging and barrette has some luster loss but overall doll is Exc.
