Welcome to Buckles Blog. This site is for the discussion of Circus History all over the world.
Tommy shown here with the ever lovely Chrys Holt while he was owned by Tony Diano & well before his left tusk was broken crawling through a small doorway (by mistake) He was sold to Ringling many years later
I recall that Lee Keener was with Tommy through much of his performing life while he was owned by Tony Diano I'm not sure if he trained him or just presented him
During the Feld era it was Jim Silverlake who attended & presented Tommy was all gussied up unmercifully with rediculous extensions on both tusks
Chrys Holt was a featured hair hang aerialist that worked in the aerial ballet Her father Bert Holt did an aerial Iron Jaw routine
