As I post these different pictures of performers, I am totally astounded by how many fine acts there were in the years past. I sometimes stop and look around my office and I see box upon box filled with show biz photos and wonder if I will ever complete this task of posting and writing their stories. I am so thankful that I have a friend who helps me with this tiger that I have by the tail…………… Thanks Miss M.
Thanks Lee for your comment. Also thanks for your comment Bill Gowan.

Now here is an interesting act; one like I have never seen before. Juggling, of course, but what is he balancing on?

Siebrand Elephants

I remember posting a different shot of this act some time ago. I wish I could think of his name. The photo was taken in 1950 or 1951. Bill Woodcock with his elephants was on the Siebrand Circus, as well.
