Zogi
(aka Prince Zogi) was a touring magician and booking agent.
Clarence A. Franks the son of sharecroppers, he began his career by joining a Carnival after working the wheat fields in western Kansas. There in 1926, he met and married his wife, Gladys May Sidebottom, a ticket seller, whose grandfather owned the carnival.
He became known as Prince Zogi and with his wife took their act on the road as the Zogi Variety Review. The act included a levitation, disappearing animals, and Metamorphosis. He became well-known in Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas Panhandle, and southeast Missouri. Later his two daughters, Helen and Lorraine, also joined the act.
At the height of his show's popularity, he took on another job as a booking agent and handled
Virgil and Julie
.
He moved to Hutchinson, Kansas in 1936.
In 1994, he was named to the Order of Merlin Excalibur by the International Brotherhood of Magicians for 50 years of support.
His promotional photo can be seen on the
Conjuring Arts
exhibit "The Many Faces of Magic"

I have been contacted by the original owner's Son and Granddaughter and they have passed along this info to me. I very much appreciate it. Robert Curran and Harold Braucht rented a little space at the Oklahoma Publishing Co in the corner of a room in 1933 with one roller press. Robert was in charge of the art & production, and Harold was the sales and promotion guy. The early posters had the art drawn on wood, for each color and the wood carved away to elevate the printing surface. They then used block letter type faces to complete the layout. As the business grew they moved into a couple of locations on their own, and purchased more presses from a firm in Chicago.Those huge presses were so loud, almost all of the printers  had hearing problems later in life.
They were early users of lithography printing, making their own plates and photographic work. They pretty much stayed with entertainment printing. Circuses, and Amusement attractions. They did print a world war 2 bond poster, with the Minute Man and the Pioneer Woman statue on it. One may still be hanging in the state capital.
They did snipe printing for the Clyde Beatty Circus, and Barnum & Bailey Circus. To save the cost of shipping paper, sent the plates to a little shop they established in Lodi Ca.
During WW2, they enticed one of the Carnivals to set up in downtown Okla. City near the Civic Center to entertain the military men stations at Will Rogers, and Navy men from Norman. Later they booked Broadway show touring company's in Okla. City, bought a movie theatre
