"Home"
This is my Dad back in 1970. He found this banner and three to go with them in a junk store down around Akron. We have four or five pieces of paper from the Malloy show to go with it, a set of roman rings, a few cables and a swivel. How big was the show? I don't know but it's NOT listed in the Bob Parkinson book, "Directory of American Circuses."
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.
