Bertram Mills' Circus #4


THE FOUR BRONETTS
Once again these inimitable farceurs are at Olympia. The brothers were born in four different countries and come from a long line of circus folk. Before adopting the business of making people laugh they were trained by their father in riding acts, trapeze acts and dancing.

DAL PAOS TROUPE
These equestrians are from South America. They learned their riding on the plains of the Argentine before comiong circus artistes. The finishing touches to their artistry were acquired with the famous Ringling, Barnum and Bailey Shows.

THE KLEIN FAMLY
Trick cycling must run in families. The Klein Family follow on the wheels of Arthur Klein their father, whose troupe of riders was famous in Continental circuses. Motorcycle racing is their favorite recreation.

GERMAINE TROUPE
The Germaine Troupe represents two generations. Charles Germaine, the father of the Equestrian trio, still appears in the act and is proud of the ability of of his children due in large measure to his training.
