Wild Animal Fantasy #1



Rebecca:
I just found a 1957 Polack program with this act on the cover- so the act goes back that far. Here it is called the Hawthorn Wild Animal Fantasy. One Polack unit played here in 1956 the year before and the act was not there, so 1957 may have been its debut year. (Note: Buckles- was there just one Polack unit in 56?). The 57 program lists Patricia Jamison and included the following photo.

In 1957 Rudi and his brother Willy were with Polack Bros Circus with Bertram Mills Boxing Chimpanzees, Rudi can remember Patricia Jamison with Cuneo's Wild Animal Fantasy, Cuneo's Bears presented by Red Hartman, Kelroy's trampoline, Lacy Troupe rolling globes, Flying Palacios, Jimmy Douglas and his Dogs,Manfred Doval high wire act, Peggy & Mac McDonald elephants, Barbette girls. Fedonias risley act.
That's all Rudi can remember and said it was a great show. (hope I have spelt the names correctly)
