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!
The first of our triple features is Peter & Isabel Luvas with their Cradle Act, on the Gil Gray Circus, 1963. I can't recall now why they didn't do the whole act, possibly a three show day.

Great act... Thank you for posting it. You ain't gonna see the likes of it today, thats for sure. By the way, did they use a neck loop or an Ironjaw strap?
There are almost no acts with Ironjaw holds today. I wonder why!
Thanks for showing that. It was great to see, I am going to have to razz my dad about cutting the act. No loop walk! no finish trick!
They did neck loops, not iron jaw.
