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!
This is also one of my favorite Cradle Acts, and two of our favorite people.
THE PLATOS 
I seem to remember they were referred to on Ringling as "Little Plato" & "Big Plato", this is early 1950's. 
THE LAY OUT SPIN,HELICOPTER SPIN, GYROSCOPIC SPIN, HORIZONTAL SPIN,(Take your pick!)!
A good one too, she is flat out.
LILI-ANA & SVEND
Here is Lilly dressed for her Cage Leopard Act. What is this thing cradle girls have for cats?
