Buckles From Chuck Schlarbaum: The interior shot of Broadway To Hollywood looks like they are still setting up. I see Delilah (Sylvia Arnellis) from time to time at the Showmens Club. She was on Broadway To Hollywood again for the 1965 tour. I came on the show for the winter fairs in 1962 (no program books at that time) so believe this dates before 1962. I did the winter fairs for Jack Norman for 7 years and the 1965 summer tour. Great show. 50 car railroad show plus the stuff that went overland by truck. Enjoyed going over the road on the train. Had a nice stateroom. Steve Fanning had the elephants and menagerie and had the stateroom next to mine. We were together on Cristiani Bros. in 1958. Regards, Chuck |

Buckles,
We never got Strates in the Deep South. Read all about it in Billboard and always regretted never seeing it.
Still, in it's heyday, Royal American was a sight to behold, with its four Ferris wheels dominating the back of the lot.
At about age 13 I saw Gypsy Rose Lee on their back end and another year, a rather aged Sally Rand and her celebrated fan dance.
Pretty heady stuff for a teen ager from rural Mississippi!
Jack
Question for Chuck: Was Delilah and Sylvia Cassidy the one and same. Slyvia Cassidy was sometime billed as "Chesty Jessy". Understand she has scales now on Reithoffer Midway. Markeno
