Austin Bros. - 1945
The 1945 edition of Austin Bros. Circus featured the cage act of Terrell Jacobs. Owned by Ben Davenport and Harry Hammill, this was the Dailey Bros. 2nd unit. The show only went out this one year.
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.
