Another casualty of progress; you just don't find this kind of entertainment on the midway any more (at least none of the fairs, etc. I've ever attended).
The artist who drew this had to walk a fine line. Show too much and nobody will let you put up the poster; don't show enough, and you don't attract the audience.
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.
