I cropped this picture from the one above.

Has anyone ever noticed how much she looks like Greta Garbo? A very beautiful woman.

Indeed, one of the truly striking women in circus photographs. Not long ago, on this blog, I noted others gifted, to this beholder's appreciative eyes, with the phenomenon classed as rare beauty. Perhaps others may care to name their favorites. Movie stars don't count--they pay to have it done. Circus girls prove the Nature's lasting rule: There's nothing like a good-looking showbroad.

I agree with Buckles's spelling of Harriett. Other researchers prefer Harriet, with one "t". I've seen one or two obscure references to her as Harrietta. When I visited her grave in Lauderdale Memorial Cemetery, she lays at rest as Harriett Beatty, with a rosary on her plaque, and the dates 1909-1950. So Buckles and I have had it right all along.
