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.

Bob: I sent this in once and it never showed up- I think these might be Pete Mardo's circa 1928 shots.
These are Pete Mardo's photos but not made from his original negatives as they crop some off of all sides, one clue that someone has copied them, a practice that was frequent by certain fan/dealers in years past. Mardo offered a set of 20 in his Beatty act set but I have only 15 original prints made by him. They were taken on H-W in 1928. Mardo was a clown who took hundreds of excellent photos of shows he was on in the 1920s.

I wondered about these as they are ina Hagenbeck-Wallace photo album I have with lot's of Pete Mardo photos but these three weren't stamped with the mardo stamp on back.
