Bell family.

Hide Profile

The Bells were Mexican vaudeville artists who performed between the 1890s and the 1920s. Heirs of England-born Richard Bell (1858-1911), the most popular clown in turn-of-the-century Mexico, the Bell family toured the world with their circus and vaudeville show. After becoming involved in filmmaking, the Bell Vaudeville company officially retired in 1926.
