Chitty Chitty Bang Bang in Baltimore

Taking the Wilson dogs act into the theater for an afternoon show. Joanne and PeeWee Pinson have put together a well trained dog troupe for this broadway show….. well trained dogs that get their ques from the wings of the stage.
Lils Wilson

This picture of Lil Wilson was taken sometime in the early 1940’s. Maybe Joanne’s sister might help with dates and places.
Gil Wilson

There is always time for a photo. I am glad that someone took the time to save this one or I and others would not be able to see this piece of circus history. Gil Wilson and his four trained Spitz. This photo taken in the early 1920’s.
Gil and Dime Wilson
Posted By thecircusblog on June 22, 2009
Gil Wilson and his son Dime. Dime was about ten or eleven years old when this picture was taken. I am guessing that this photo was taken around 1931. The show that they were on is unknown….. perhaps someone can recognize the wagon in the background. The photograph was given to me by Joanne Wilson Pinson.

George Keller was known to have very flashy props and wardrobe. It was a class act from start to finish.

I got these photos from my father’s collection. He knew Keller very well. My dad was very fond of his act….he said he was a great showman.
