THE FOUR KELROYS
Ten years ago the Four Kelroys left their native Australia for a season's tour of England. Before the end of the year their act was so much in demand in other countries they decided on a world tour.
Embracing trampoline acrobatics, hand balancing and aerial casting.
Ernest Kelroy, his wife Ivy, their son Ronnie and Ivy's sister Joan Willoughby are the ebullient stars of this unique presentation.

After the act was retired, Ron Kelroy and his mother, Ivy, worked for L. N. Fleckles. They were involved with Medinah Temple (Chicago), a circus at Navy Pier (Chicago), downtown Aerial Thrill Circus on Chicago's Daley plaza and Summerfest (Milwaukee).

After Fleckles died, Ron continued the business assisted by his mother Ivy.They did Tabala Shrine Circus (Rockford, IL) for a number of years. Ron took out the Royal Australian Circus using an outdoor venue.

There are lots of acts out therewho played the noontime Daley Plaze Thrill. The Flying Armors and Trudy and Bill Strong among others. Perhaps we could hear from some of them.
