Another Gentry Bros. Letterhead
The title using Gentry Bros. Circus was not one used by the Gentry Bros. I can not speak with absolute certainty here but I believe the United Circus Corporation title on top with a California address indicates that Sam B. Dill was the owner from 1930 to 1931 with Mr. Dill being a west coast guy. Can someone give us a better insight on this corporation?
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.
