HOWDY, MY NAME IS BILL STRONG, I'LL BE YOUR "24 HOUR MAN", ROUTING YOU INTO THE PAST TO SEE WHAT THE CIRCUS WAS IN DAYS GONE BY. IF YOU'RE LIKE ME, AND MISS WHAT IT USED TO BE, THEN COME ON ALONG AS WE GO DOWN THE ROAD FOLLOWING THE ARROWS BACKWARDS, TO "YESTERDAY'S TOWNS"! IF YOU HAVE CIRCUS RELATED PICTURES YOU WOULD LIKE POSTED, SEND THEM TO,,,,yesterday1@verizon.net,,,,AND WE WILL TRY TO FIT THEM IN. "24 HOUR MAN" WILL HAVE THE FINAL DECISION ON POSTING.
Three years at CWM made me a real traditionalist, and I keep remembering Bob Parkinson saying, "I want the people to see what the circus used to be, not what it is today. That's what this site is about!

You are right! He had class and those who tried to copy him, managed only to make him look better!
I never saw another act like Julians. Maybe I did not reconize them as they would or could not ever come close to this man and his act. One of my all time favorites that I never missed a show if he were on it. The very best of the best. Never once could I ever find a flaw in his presentation.
Played Rochester as a feature for many years. I had the pleasure of working for M&M when he was here. He was a delighful man and the consumate performer. Bill in Rochester,NY
