Retraction!

I was rudely interrupted by my wife this morning who
during the night, had read the recent James Christy
article and explained that Rosie Valentine was indeed
not pregnant.
She was still in High School and hadn't joined the show yet.

Part of the Valentines had left the show suddenly and Barbara,
having done cloud swing, was recruited, practiced between
shows and went into the act that night.
She said she came down the ladder the first show but dropped
into the net from then on.
They called her their "One Hour Miracle Leaper."
She got $85 a week on the QT

Wow probably a half a century plus has past since this photo was taken and I just worked El Paso Tx. in Jan. for Circus producer Slick Valentine and was booked there by Billy Woods.
