The Mexican Dancer
Posted By thecircusblog on April 5, 2010
Perri Andre was a feature on the Yankee Patterson Circus and the Esclante Circus. Perri did have two other dancers with him in the act. He also did a tight wire act. I remember him only because he would watch over me when my mother and father were performing. Spanish and Mexican dancers were very popular in the 40’s.
Bill Capell’s Calliope

Another project of Bills was this white Calliope wagon. He had a talent for restoring old show wagons. He said it was his hobby. I believe he was keeping circus history alive.
Bill’s Calliope

Bill Capell was always buying old circus equipment. He then would restore it, play with it for a while, as this was his hobby and he enjoyed every minute of it. Much of the show wagons were either sold or donated and then Bill would start all over again on a new project.

Ciruus Midway
Posted By thecircusblog on April 2, 2010
The circus midway was always filled with popcorn, cotton candy and hot dogs. This was the bread and butter of the circus, and to hold them on the midway longer there were side shows.
