De Sales, private Catholic School in Macon, GA. Those years were paradise for circus fans...Thought they would never end. From 1949 thru 1953 the money rolled in...sometimes they gave three and four shows a day. Can you imagine?? And making one night stnads to boot.<br />Charles Hansonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12236421018132978620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8897242.post-31050546292104097232021-02-05T20:02:10.623-05:002021-02-05T20:02:10.623-05:00Charles, a coincidence with your comment is that j...Charles, a coincidence with your comment is that just last night I read a part of Victoria Christiani Rossi's book "Spangles, Elephants, Violets and Me" that concerned the Christiani's business relations with Arnold Maley.<br /><br />It's a good book too!Tony Greinerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07666756590559149115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8897242.post-33923107195804926472021-02-05T00:18:35.759-05:002021-02-05T00:18:35.759-05:00She also said that the money was coming in so fast...She also said that the money was coming in so fast at the ticket wagon on the King Show...until they would just throw the money on the floor.

Circus (Floyd King Era) with Arnold Maley. She said that Arnold made his money on walk aways and masterful change making (as Chic alluded too). She said the show always received the right count on ticket sales. Mr. Maley also had a colorful past while working in the banking business. Guess he just had larceny in his heart.....Charles Hansonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12236421018132978620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8897242.post-42263021267598915362021-02-04T22:50:22.040-05:002021-02-04T22:50:22.040-05:00After Miller Brothers contract
