HI, My grandfather was a magician of sorts-not exactly sure of his reputation or skill level, but he and my grandmother were "Ching Ling and Soo" and my grandmother was "Soo Ling" when she performed separately. I have many pictures of them doing their magic, as well as publicity photos, but know little else. My grandfather ( Bill Hewitt) died before I was born and my grandmother remarried a showbiz MC Charles "Doc Smith" Schmitt. I see that Bill "Ching Ling" was in a Genii magazine in Sept of 1952- but that is all I can find online ( just the mention of the magazine- not the actual article or whatever was contained in the mag.). I would appreciate any help that anyone could give me to discovering a little about Bill Hewitt aka Ching Ling Oh, he was also "Dr. Judge". I think that was magic also. Thanks in advance! Happy Holidays!!

Welcome CHINGLING,
Great to have Magical ancestry but frustrating not to know more about it. You might try posting in "Magicians of Old" forum in "A Family Tradition" section. Good Luck! -Mary Mowder |
