Armida on the tight wire. As time goes on you lose track of your friends …and so it is in our business also. I was involved in a TV series in the early 1960’s called Greatest Show on Earth with Jack Palence. On one of the show the script called for two wire walkers, myself and Armida. It was […]

Ezra… The Roller Skating Hillbilly
thecircusblog | May 4, 2010

His act was filled with tricks jokes and funny one liners and the audience enjoyed the simple humor. My Dad and Ezra were good friends […]

Now here was a character……. Harry Froboess. This guy was a practical joker and was always up to something. He was even worse than Frenchy Manning. Harry did several different aerial acts from high pole to casting. Harry was in the Olympics and was a movie stunt man before he became a circus performer. In this photo […]
George Fest
thecircusblog | May 4, 2010
In 1950 George Fest was the total band on the Siebrand circus. He sure could play the organ. In his younger years he played in churches and theaters back east. No matter, he could play it or fake it.
