Shows on the road in 1902
Below are a bunch of ads from some of the Shows on the road in 1902. They are all taken from the New York Clipper and should enlarge if you double click them. Ironically, the microfilm is in great condition but the microfilm reader is making lousy copies so I do apologize fro some of the poor quality. As you will see, many of the names are NOT very familiar.
I performed from 1973 to 1995 with a couple years off in between. I did an aerial cradle act for three years, low wire as a clown, trained llamas, ponies, then lions and tigers for 15 years. I am now a firefighter, a member of the Circus Historical Society and an author of several circus and carnival related subjects.
