Buckles,
What is intermezzo? Is that intermission?
Wade Burck
Intermezzo is a musical term referring to light music played between acts of a drama or connecting the main divisions of a symphony. Perhaps the horses pictured were used as a diversion between the dressage and jumping horses portions of the EVENING IN CENTRAL PARK number that was presented that year.
It's a cold day in HELL...Wade admits he doesn't know something.
Another HOT CHOCOLATE for me and Mr. Atterbury.
Dick,
I thought you guy's were in Europe.
Fact of the matter is, you don't become a "know it all" unless you ask question's. People aren't born "experts".
P.S Eric this is the 3rd time I am thanking you for the information. Hope you get the message.

richard gets a "sweeeeeet" for his comment.
and yet, i have to say (for the record) "excellent point, wade". i have to agree. except when the "experts" tell you "let some air out of the elephant", LOL. i'm shoulder deep and still haven't found that damned valve...
For Wade,
Your message of thanks received. I don't know if my answer is the right one, but it might jog someone's memory as to what the term "intermezzo" means relative to a circus production number.
intermezzo.... it is...
intermission...
I don't think the Ringling Show ever had an intermission under canvas.
Or any other show for that matter.
INTERMEZZ0.
A brief entertainmemt between tow acts of play an ENTRACTE.
I think that intermissions came about under canvas (Beatty-Cole) in the early '80s. About the time that they discovered how profitable elephant rides can be.
However I don't recall Carson & Barnes ever having intermissions.
