The Flying Bells
Posted By thecircusblog on June 30, 2012
This is what is known as a double flying act. There are two catchers in the center of the rigging. This to my knowledge as seen here is the only photo of this flying act.This photo was shot in the very early 1950’s, might be late 1940’s.
King Bros Circus

Two of the King Bros elephants. Photo taken just before spec, 1955. Left is Brownie, to the right Jess.
Baby Bull Act
Posted By thecircusblog on June 30, 2012
It’s a baby bull Jar-go. NO hay, no water, no shovelling. Now why couldn’t I have thought of this kind of act. This photo had no name on it, just a date of 1954.
Jimmy “Shorty” Tory

Shorty did one of the–if not the funniest–comedy trapeze act that I have ever seen. Not as a clown or doing a drunk routine, just straight comedy with very tough tricks.
