At The Front Gate
thecircusblog | December 26, 2009
Little Pete Siebrand and Bill Farrar. Bill was the show’s advance man and a good one at that. He had to double in brass as now the Siebrands had two units on the road. This photo was taken in the early 1960’s. Little Pete Siebrand was in charge of the second unit…both units came together on […]

The Oglie Zavatta Family
thecircusblog | October 4, 2009
I wish this news clipping of the Zavatta family was better but it’s all I have. This photo shows the Zavattas in their custom bus, built by Oglie himself from a Trailways passenger bus.

The Camera Gag
thecircusblog | September 2, 2009
Bob Emrico behind the camera. The other two clowns ……their names I do not know. I do know this routine was funny because Bob would change the standard camera gag and make it his own. His ad-libs were unbelievable, I think he missed his calling..he should have been a comedy writer. Between Bob Emrico, Harry Ross, […]
