I knew them on the Beatty show, in '64. We had Joe Galasso working his one-finger stand, and in the backyard, Lothar was just beginning to practice his.
One day, Greta Frisk fell from her single trap and was saved with a heroic catch by her husband, Fritz. It was a terribly close call. In the ring, they stood in an embrace for a moment, and Greta looked up at him and said, "Oh, darling. Let's quit."
When the electrical system (forgive me) "fritzed" in Beatty's Airstream, Lothar surprised many by having the skills to trace the outage and thoroughly re-wire the trailer.

The Frielanis with Fritz
Fred Lothar Greta & Evelyn
Don't know the boy on top
This is on Big Bertha
Later they came to Beatty
Greta performed as the
"Danish Bird of Paradise"
as the featured trapeze
in the aerial ballet
Lothar Geyer later went
on to perform an elegant
"One Finger" routine
I believe that's Otto Griebling
on the lower right on the track
This would have been
at "Garden #3" or as
some of us still call
it "The Old Garden"
on 8th at 49th-50th
streets in Manhattan

In retirement after his divorce
from Jill Lothar bought a charter
fishing boat that he operated
out of Cortez very near Bradenton
Beach with his 2nd wife Charlene
That was until the boat burned
to the water line one afternoon
