One Day !

Tommy Bentley in the center holding up one finger. I think he was saying to himself one day, I will own a circus. Charles Clancy, Tommy’s partner, left side of photo and of course Rudy Jacobe owner of Rudy Bros Circus.
A Strange Photo
Posted By thecircusblog on June 22, 2012
This is strange–and by strange I mean that I don’t know who these people are. The photo was shot by Tommy Bentley in 1959, just before the take over by Castro. I do know that Tommy had a lot of friends in Havana that were night club performers. Most of these performers were female impersonators. I think these people performed in a different manner.

A Great Photo
Posted By thecircusblog on June 22, 2012
Yes it is a great photo, but I have no idea who it is. In my collection of hundreds of photos I sometimes run across those that I do not know where they came from nor their names. So if you can, please put a name to this picture.
Jim Parker gave me his name see comment. Thanks Jim
