Toni Madison
Posted By thecircusblog on August 12, 2011
In 1956, we spent a half season with Siebrand Circus because my dad had booked other dates in the Fall. My mother’s real name was Mary Henry. Toni Madison was her stage name. She used that name because all the the other Henry’s had dog acts and this stopped the confusion with the agents. When they called for Winter Christmas dates, they would call the Henry Compound and now they asked specifically for Toni’s Wonder Dogs.
