"The Pykettis, who appear in association with the Chavallis in our big Aerial Show"

The Pyketti Troupe includes Kurt Liebetanz Pyketti, Anni Jansen, Franziska Knaup and Helmut Seyler.
Kurt was born in Berlin and received his training with the firm of Santey and has always performed in his present style of act. In November of 1921, when performing with the Sarasani Circus in Berlin, he fell from a height of 15 metres, and most amazing, was not hurt in the slightest.
