Russell Bros. Circus 1936/ "Topsy"


Barbara's family was on the Russell Show in 1939 and she has often mentioned how nice Pauline Webb was to her and her sisters. Most of all she talked about her chimp "Topsy" that was often in Mrs. Webb's trailer but was outfitted with living quarters of her own with scaled down furniture, a bed and private doniker.
Here she is with clown Jack Crippen in Beloit, Wis. July 20, 1936.
