I believe these are the Rose Midgets, but I'm not positive.

Upon further examination, I am in agreement with Johnny, there are a few of the Doll Family members in this photo.

I am sorry not to agree with you John. I was very close to the Doll Family and there is not one of them in this photo, I am quite sure. Being around midgets so much, I remember that they told me about many Midget Troops that performed in those early days. Very often doing the entire stage shows in theaters, like acrobats, ets. Harry Klima, midget in 1946 went into the Naieto tight wire act to be carried across the wire head to head by the Naieto woman understander. Alla had blown the act that year and they knew Harry had done this work in a troop of midgets. I can not remember the understanders name. I know the other Euransian woman Margie was later married Lawson. John sure has a better recall of names. Lately I have a tough time. Well there is no bet on who is who and that's kind of a good thing or I think I would be loosing money all the time.

Only last night, I caught the midget couple, George and Violet Brasno, co-starring with Warner Oland, in CHARLIE CHAN AT THE CIRCUS.
