We've seen this one naming all present. Sitting at Center is Alfredo Codona. The woman standing up behind him is his first wife, Clara Gron. Persistent rumor at the time held that Lillian Leitzel bought Clara off for $1,000 to leave Alfredo, clearing the path for herself. Leitzel and Codona indeed married in 1928, in what publicists heralded as the world's top aerialists achieving this "match made in Heaven". Clara Gron, who continued her former married name of Codona, was tracked down in Cleveland, far into her old age, and denied that she had been paid to bow out for Leitzel.

Hello Buckles,

I am part of a workplace safety app called Zero, and we are doing a series on circus related topics. I was interested in getting in touch with you to discuss the content of your blog. What would be a good way to contact you? Alternatively you can send me an email at ashwinishridhar10@gmail.com and we can discuss further. Thanks so much.
