The girl on the right looks like it could be Marianna from the Bokara Troupe.....the handsome man on the very right is Moulay...He believes the third girl might be Manja Riggeti??
Hi there, I believe the girl that was in the Bokara troupe was named Gretel- she married Hans?? -- The fellow sure looks like young Max from the Bokara troupe. Come to think of it there also was a girl named Marianna. Hmmmm you got me thinking.
No guesses on the blonde drummer? Come on, you all know her!!!!
If I don't know and she is blond, I always say GEE GEE. Jim will say TRUDY because of the blond hair he has never seen.I do have another wild guess.
rebecca, you may or may not have ever met her, but you have more in common than you think.
I think I mentioned her in an e-mail Bill. Yes, I have met her. Still hear from her every xmas.
This girl never had any connection with JC, in fact at the time this was taken she did an aerial act.
I give up. I really did not know many people back then. This waiting is driving me nuts. Does she work any animal act? I never met anyone on the circus before 1956.

The drummer on the right looks to me like Herta Klauser.
I can't ID the rabbit girl.
Bill: Enough.....Please ID...
The girl in the white rabbit suit? How many of you remember the great brother & sister Rola Bola Act, " The Ferris-Feronni Duo"(sp?), Carmen & Casper?(Casper was married to Jeanie Sleeter)
As for the drummer girl, at that time she had the nickname "Little Plato", from the Cradle Act she did with her husband Svend. They also did a Riding Act with Jack Ussin. She is on Buckles Blog this morning as Lili-Ana.
