Anonymous said...: Buckles, clear something up for me if you please. This is a different "Charlie" than the bull Mabel Hall worked on her father's, G.W. "Popcorn" Hall, show right? If I am correct, do you know what became of Hall's "Charlie"?; 21 July, 2008 21:25

1903-07 Thos. Hargreaves Show
1908-12 Geo. "Popcorn" Hall family.
(Died in 1912 at Evansville Quarters.

This is a subject open to debate.
Some people think that he was the "Charlie" in the Lockhart act on the Ringling Show.
None of the males in the Baraboo photos have ivory that heavy however the info on his card above is not etched in stone either.
So this is a round about way of saying, "I don't know".; 22 July, 2008 07:21
