100 Years of History, Anniversary Bank of Oklahoma

The Severs Building or Bank of Oklahoma Held its 100 year anniversary. There were actors from that period that banked there. Some of those people were Eleanor Roosevelt, George Smith, Babe Ruth, Alice Robertson, Jim Thorp, Tams Bixby, Frederick Severs Lawrence C. McAlister, Sara Bernhardt Philip Sousa, Ernestine Schumann-Heink and of course Me playing the part of Will Rogers. We all spoke a part in the calibration.
I, Marty Tipton, The Oklahoma Kid performed as Will Rogers and give many of the quotes of Will's  and performed some pretty fancy Rope Tricks like the Texas Skip right in the lobby of the Severs Building. It was fun and very professional. I was able to have them laughing and cheering with all the action I performed.
 It was an outstanding cast and I was fortunate enough to pull off every trick without a hitch. We had several sponsors and The Oklahoma Arts Council Played a big part. Special thanks to Jim Eaton President of Bank of Oklahoma.
