QUASSAR'S QUIZ????
WHO IS THIS GREAT TEETERBOARD ACT?
I once saw one of the members of this troupe do swingtime double backs on the trampoline until I lost count.

The Fredonias??
Frank Clark says,-- This looks like "The Freddie Troup"---Piefka was top-mounter-- later married Brenda ( not girl shown)--Piefka was the one who did swing-time doubles on the trampoline--
Frank hit it right on the dot, and the trampoline act we both referred to was The Freddies "2nd" act, The Haslevs. It consisted of a long trampoline with a stand-up catcher at each end. Piefka, (second from left), was the feature performer in both acts.
