This has nothing to do with the circus but I thought you would like to see the cartoons that many of us enjoyed in the 1950’s.

I started collecting circus posters when I was quite young. My dad said ………. It’s a good hobby for you it will keep you out of trouble. They were easy to find in the 1940’s, 50’s and 60’s ….who wanted them after the show has left town. I even have different kinds of show arrows and circus news ads. The older posters that I have were given to me by friends or circus fans that knew I enjoyed collecting. There are posters in my attic that I haven’t seen in years. I never in my wildest imagination thought they would be of use. Many older posters that I have are reprints or photos too numerous to be valuable, but I enjoy the history behind them. I hope you do too. Soon I’ll be taking pictures of the original posters and will be scanning them for the circus blog.

I often wonder where he is as I haven’t seen nor heard from him since 1969. Otto put a circus together for the Stardust Hotel Casino in Las Vegas. We met for the first time then, when he ask me to help him with the show and do the Chimp act. Louie Saca was a good friend of mine and Louie was the special events director at the Stardust Casino. So in a small way I helped out with the deal. The Stardust…. I guess wanted to compete with Circus Circus so the Stardust Circus went forward but it lasted for only two weeks. I will say Otto did a good job producing the show but I think what hurt us was being a sidewall circus outdoors and we were located in the back of the casino in a very bad location. The lesson….No People, No money, No pay……. just another circus Jackpot. No hard feelings Otto.
Thanks Jack for the poster.-
