I am not the first one to say so, but two Side Show attractions could not find work today. The Fat Lady seen here is, forgive me, heavily outdone today by 90% of the women you see in WalMart. And, the Tattooed Lady. Young people anywhere are out-inking long-ago stars like Betty Broadbent. Side Shows are all but gone, save for at least the stellar present day productions still on Coney Island.
