delineator, and hypnotist. A reporter for the St. Louis Dispatch wrote of Flesner: His [Neil’s] general manager, Jay Bee Flesner was supervising the town lads. Flesner has a weird assortment of talents. He does a hypnosis act, creates pictures out of colored felt, is an ex-Marine captain, gives dramatic readings, lectured at school assemblies, graduated as a major in abnormal psychology, has been a teacher and in general has an excellent time out of life.

Flesner trouped with the Schaffners in the summer and presented school assembly programs during the rest of the year. He remained with the Schaffners until after the 1957 season.
