Alfred Court #2
thecircusblog | November 27, 2011

This is a very rare photo. The original is in my collection. The actual year is unknown to me. I can only guess 1888? to the early 1900’s?

For quite sometime this act was booked though Al Dobritch in the 1960’s. The Lenz Chimps were one of the top chimp acts during that time and one of my favorite chimp acts too.

Ringling Bros, Barnum & Bailey. This is a four horse hitch that is pulling the Cinderella float. The date of this photo was some time in the early 1950’s. The Walt Disney Cinderella move came out in 1950.
