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 Pete, & Grace Ivanov on the left so it had to be A Horizontal Bar Act, & with Pete in it, it had to be a good one.
Who is the gentleman on the right?

I'm not sure about the gentleman on the right but I'm pretty sure that the guy on the left is Harold Lloyd from the Preston Sturges film "The Sin of Harold Diddlebock" (also known as Mad Wednesday).
Alright, I know that it's not Harold Lloyd. But who other than he, Spike Jones and Lou Jacobs has ever worn a plaid like that?!?
