The Hodginis
thecircusblog | August 25, 2009
This photo was taken in 1950 or 1951. Some of these photos came from the Donita Roche collection. She and her husband “Poncho” Frank Roche are both deceased now.

Duke Sport and Tucker
thecircusblog | August 25, 2009
These 3 of 24 dogs was the original dog act that my father broke for my mother in 1943. The greater majority of all the dogs we had came from the dog pound……. My dad had a thing about the under dog, he always gave them a brake.

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.
Semon’s Chimps
thecircusblog | August 23, 2009
This was one of my favorite chimp acts. Semon had a smooth and well performing chimp act. The thing about having a chimp act is you never get tired of working the act or watching them. Any chimp trainer will tell you that there is a connection between man and the ape. What makes it interesting […]
CoCo and Grace Fairburns
thecircusblog | August 23, 2009
How I remember the two of them! It seemed to me that they were funnier out of makeup than in. Gracie was constantly yelling at CoCo. She had to because he was very hard of hearing to the point of almost being deaf or maybe he just didn’t want to hear what Grace was saying to him. It was comedy […]
Chet Juszyk
thecircusblog | August 23, 2009
Louie Goeble’s Lion Farm and the World Jungle Compound, later called Jungleland, most likely is responsible for more wild animal trainers than I can think of. Chet Juszyk did his cat act at the compound and also went on the road with different shows. Jungleland was also a great haven for animal trainers from all parts of the World to come and get new ideas […]
