HUBERT CASTLE CIRCUS AT THE CANADIAN NATIONAL EXHIBITION IN TORONTO, 1970
This is the first of two years that Trudy & I worked this date & being 36+ years ago some of the names of acts, & which year they were there is pretty much lost. The year is stamped on the back of each picture so I know those are right.
PERCH & WIRE ACT DISPLAY
A stab in the dark at the Perch Act in Ring #1,(Peter Luvas with Tepa & Tavana); Ring #2,(could be The Dam Brothers?), Ring #3,(Unknown); Center Ring,Anita Vargas); Ring #5(Dos Santos); Rings #6 & 7,(Unknown)
If you look closely you may be able to see, behind the Wheel is George Bruno's Break-Away Pole set up in the middle of the back grandstand.
AERIAL NUMBER
Left to Right, The Pharoahs,(Cradle Act); Johnny Luxem,(Wheel); Tibi & Eva,(Cradle Act); The Platos(behind)(Cradle Act); Gala Shawn,(Head Balancing Trapeze); Pete & Petrova,(Cradle Act); & Oscar Macias,?,(Cloud Swing).( The Pharoahs, & The Platos got put on the back track because their riggings were higher than the others)!!!!
ELEPHANT DISPLAY
In Ring #2 are The Hubert Castle Elephants, with Bert Pettus & Sandy; in the Center Ring are The Diano Elephants, with Lee Keener; Ring #6 is Walt, & Barbara King.
It looks like Pat Anthony's Barrel at the far right, possibly only 3 Cage Acts that year
