There is an off chance that these photos date from the summer of 1975 and that this might be Dolly Jacobs. She was with Vargas breaking in an aerial rings number that she took to Ringling the next year. We (Circus Kirk) were booked nearby and went to see their matinee. I don't remember the town but I'll never forget Dolly Jacobs. If I remember correctly, we traded a couple of musicians and came away with a piccolo player.
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.
