Kelly-Miller Circus 1948/ Romig-Rooney Troupe


Fay and Irv Romig at left and I suppose their parents.
Irv had a riding act on the Ringling Show a few years later that worked in an end ring in the bare back display that featured Alberto Zoppe and the midget Cucciola.
You movie buffs might recall a shot of Irv in this make up winding the horse's tail in the DeMille flick.

Fay passed away in 2014 in Santa Clarita CA. I met her 8 years before her death. She was living in a Toyota Motorhome with several poodles that were the last of a line of ones she trained.She gave me a suitcase full of memorabilia from her prime.
I loved listening to her stories.
