Is it his mom, Aurela (not sure if that is how it is spelled).
Maria Vonderheid
Looks to me like Barbara's niece Lou, or Carmen.
Very nice Jimmy, but now lets hear what the name of her act was?
Jimmy further mentioned that the piture was taken with Cole Bros. Circus in the 1930's when his mother Aurelia was a member of the Zoppe-Zavata Riding Act.
He added that the Troupe's wardrobe was done by Brooks-Van Horn.
No one who knew her could mistake the eyes of Aurelia Hall. She and her family's acts were on the Castle show with us in '73 and '73. Mrs. Hall was one of the most colorful and memorable persons in showbusiness. Billy Barton (or someone) accurately titled her the Godmother of the Circus.
