Walter L. Main - 1922
Andrew Downie's real name was Andrew McPhee. How the name change came about, I don't know. There are a couple Andrew Downie letterheads in the William P. Hall papers at the Circus World Museum that are signed by Andrew McPhee.
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.
