Mr. Berry's lithograph inspired me to dig thru my aerial act file and I'll
start with this unidentified group of handsome people.

Isn't that the talented Charlie Siegrist second from right? And I should know the lady second from left (Edith?). Man on left may be Butch Brann, later did a fast perch pole act with his wife and was then assistant to Orrin Davenport on Shrine dates in the 1940s-50s. Phot is probably, then, the Charlie Siegrist flying act.

Forgot to add, if that is indeed Butch Brann on the left, that this photo when be between 1910 (when he joined the act) and 1921 except for the years when he was off to the Great War.
