Boys Town s earliest hits: Entertainment played role in growth of home

Bob Marks Father Edward Flanagan, founder of Boys Town, is probably the most widely known of Omaha’s historical figures. He and his creation on West Dodge Road are recognized internationally. A factor that may be underrated in the growth and good fortunes of his home for boys is … Entertainment! It wasn’t long after the saintly Father moved the home out to “Overlook Farm” in 1921 that he started inviting influential members of the public to visit. The boys guided the visitors on tours while others sang and played their second-hand instruments during lunch. Soon Father Flanagan was organizing a traveling show with the most talented boys. For transport he bought two horse-drawn circus wagons and emblazoned them in red and gold with the words, “FATHER FLANAGAN’S BOYS’ SHOWS – WORLD’S GREATEST JUVENILE ACTORS.”
