Lee & Friends

Posted By on August 7, 2012

From left to right Vicki St Clair, one of the Joe Lempki chimps, and Lee Noblitt. I first met Lee back in the early 1960’s. He was and still is a soft talking easy going country boy, always ready to lend a hand. His ambition is animals, wild or domestic handling and performing. For the most part he is out of the business now, but not out of the animal business. Lee is a very successful breeder and trainer of thoroughbred race horses. His ranch is in southern California where he races his horses at the major race tracks. Now and again I will give him a call to say hello and maybe………… get a tip on the next race.

I spoke with Lee Noblett today 9-9-12, because of a question asked by Wade Burck. Lee told me that the Horses were part of John Cuneo’s horse fantasy. Lee worked for John taking care of all the hoof stock. Lee at this time live in Lucerne, Cailf. He has a ranch there where he breeds racing horses.

The Kolozsy Troupe

Teeterboard act performers were Laszio and Veronica Kolozsy, Laszio Jr. top mounter, Johnny Szilagyi pushing the board and Frank Galambos bottom man. On the left is the illusion act Veronica Kolozsy. As I mentioned before this circus family did just about every act in the book.

Taking Franks place as bottom man is Veronica Kolozsy.  I think that Frank Galambos also worked with the Antonetts teeterboard act on the Polack show in 1967?

A somersault to the forehead with one foot only. A very beautiful trick performed by Laszio Jr. The troupe was performing at the Dayton, Ohio, Shrine Circus 1964.

The Kolozsy troupe not only worked circuses, fairs but also nightclubs.  The clubs were booked for them by the Gastoni agency.
