ORRIN DAVENPORT CIRCUS: DETROIT, MICHIGAN 1959
I discovered the line up page was missing from this program, but decided to continue on, as you can see here Harry Thomas was the Ringmaster, and Merle Evans was Bandleader, some of the things missing are the Little Aerial number which usually consisted of 8 or 10 single acts around the track, some I remember through the years were, Ruth Flannigan, Grace McIntosh, Corrine Dearo, Ulaine Maloy, Ingrid Merideth, and usually a feature act or two. Some ground acts missing would be Francisco & Dolores, The Nobel Trio,(Parrallel Bars,one member of that act was Frank Clark), Johnson & Owens,(Horizontal Bars, and Trampoline Casting), and of course Joe Zoppe's Riding Act. An Aerial Act missing is The LaBlonde Trio,(Comedy Aerial Horizontal Bars).

Do you have any idea what happened to Corrine Dearo? I have been unable to learn of her demise.
Thanks

Alvie,
If you ever read this, I apologize, I don't check back through my comments enough. I too would be interested to know what became of Bert & Corrine, they were two of my favorite people.
