Description
Clarence Chesterfield Howerton AKA Major Mite (February 9, 1913 - November 18, 1975) was an American circus performer. He was 2 ft 4 in tall and billed as the smallest man in the world. During the 1930s, he was used as a mascot for the recruitment side of the US Marine Corps. His biggest role in acting was in The Wizard of Oz, in which he played the part of a trumpet-playing Munchkin. In contrast to his public persona, Howerton reportedly enjoyed cigars and beer, "often yelled obscenities" and was known to "run the length of a bar, kicking anything in his way". No photographer credited, 1922.
