This photo is dated 1914.
The following photos of Mabel Stark are found in my uncle's scrap books. I can find no mention of a photographer. Mabel Stark and the year are written in pencil on the back. These would have been on the Al G. Barnes Circus

About Me
- Bob Cline
- 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.

Is it just me or do the first two photos look a bit 'funny'? They don't look like the same woman in the following photos.

Maybe your uncle took them. I remember my Dad talking about Mable Stark, he said she was one of the best he`d seen. Although he was always a Clyde Beatty fan,I think Gunther Gebel Williams became his all time favorite though. He said it was because Gunther worked more than just cats.
DENNIS: They are all Mabel. I have her personal scrapbooks and photos from this era fill them. It's a matter of all of us having different looks in different settings.
For HAL: A minor note--Mrs. Ringling spelled it Mable. Miss Stark preferred Mabel.
Thank you, BOB, for posting these. Look for similar photos in my biography of Mabel.
Thanks Roger. What a treasure to have her scrap books and photos. Priceless. Dennis Younger
Mabel looks a lot like her brother myGrandpa Jim in this photo.
