Princess Tajana

I believe her name was Gertrude Zimmerman

before she married Tommy Hanneford

Yes, and nobody to my memory ever called her Gertie. Her Princess Tajana worked a single trapeze with arrowheads on each end. Her mastery of this act is indelible.

One year in Commack she was brought

into the building wrapped in ermine

in an open white carriage drawn

by a pair of dazzling white horses

She was then introdced by the title

of "Empress Tajana" very Russian

with appropriate musical background
