The Oglie Zavatta Family
thecircusblog | October 4, 2009
I wish this news clipping of the Zavatta family was better but it’s all I have. This photo shows the Zavattas in their custom bus, built by Oglie himself from a Trailways passenger bus. They were on the Polack circus at the time of this photo . This bus had all the comforts of any home and if you did not like your neighbor […]
Shrine Circus Date
thecircusblog | September 29, 2009
Irma and Rio were their stage names. Very few people could pronounce Zavatta’s first name Oglie, so Rio was easier for most. Polack Bros circus, 1948, 0r 1949.
Pollenberg’s Bears

I believe this picture was taken on the Polack Bros Circus in the early 1950’s. Later in the mid 1950’s they were on the Siebrand Circus. Hana and Emil had two teen age children who traveled with them on the circus.
Lacy’s Seals

The Lacy Seals…. what a great act. It has been so long ago since Dad and I worked with them, I cannot remember the last time. Going though these old photos is an absolute pleasure for me and to be able to share them with others makes me happy. It’s almost like being back in the ring again.

All I can say is they are good show people and great performers. A few times I had to spot Antonetta for this trick. I had one season with them,wish it had been more.

These two people had more class in the ring with elephants than anyone I have ever seen…………..The elephants are “Kenya”and “Stella”.
Mooore’s Mongrels
thecircusblog | July 15, 2009
This act was fast and full of comedy…not one dull moment in the whole act. We worked with them a few times back in the late 1960’s but have never seen Dwight or Bobby again. Unfortunately….that’s show biz. Read Comment.
Pete & Petrova
thecircusblog | July 15, 2009
My dad and I worked with Pete and Petrova on the Polack Bros Circus in 1967. We only trouped with them that year, but we did become good friends. The last time I saw them was in 1975 in Wahita, Kansas doing a Shrine date. Then to my surprise while visiting The Tommy Hannaford show in […]
