Gammage Theater
thecircusblog | June 22, 2009
The people of Tempe, Arizona are quite proud of the Gammage Theater and rightfully so as it is indeed is a very beautiful theater.

Taking the Wilson dogs act into the theater for an afternoon show. Joanne and PeeWee Pinson have put together a well trained dog troupe for this broadway show….. well trained dogs that get their ques from the wings of the stage.

This picture of Lil Wilson was taken sometime in the early 1940’s. Maybe Joanne’s sister might help with dates and places.

There is always time for a photo. I am glad that someone took the time to save this one or I and others would not be able to see this piece of circus history. Gil Wilson and his four trained Spitz. This photo taken in the early 1920’s.
Gil and Dime Wilson
thecircusblog | June 22, 2009
