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!

What a show! Anyone recall the year the Great Peters died in St. Louis? I remember hearing from one of the Eriksons what it was like to perform as they brought him down.
As wild west show was a benefit for the Firemen. When the city picked up the pensions for the Police and Firemen the circus and rodeo faded away.

Kurt Schoeppner (Elkin Sisters/Darnells manager) was in an acro act called The Harlequins. There is a photo of this duo on the Elkins Sisters page on circuspace.com.
Do you think the Harlequin act mentioned in the above program could be the same? I haven't a clue.
Can you tell me anymore about the producers of this show, Fanchon and Marco?
Hope all is well -- congrats on Steven and the movie and his success in Hollywood.
I met well-known circus friend, Jeannie Hildreth over the weekend. She held up her hand to show me a whopper gold ring with 3 rubies and 6 diamonds, very impressive.
It was Poodles Hanneford's custom designed ring that she bought at a recent auction of Gracie Hanneford's estate in upstate New York.
What a beautiful ring and what a piece of circus history.
