Eloise Berchtold #1


This is from the 1966 Polack Bros. Circus program when we were on the show. Eloise was quite a contrast after Pat Anthony the previous season.

Eloise's mixed act wasn't quite Pat Anthony in excitement but it was a notch or two above Prince ElKigoro.

I believe Eloise put the mixed act together while she was at the Toledo Zoo in the early 60s. At the same time Joe Frisco Sr. put together a mixed act, 4 lions, a tiger, and Himalayan bear at the Cincinnati Zoo. The act was sold to the Peoria, IL Zoo in the fall of 1963. Joe added another tiger and bear and played a number of Shrine dates in the winter months until 1966. The act was again sold to the Phoenix Zoo in 1967 where it was worked (I believe)by Paul Fritz.
