From Paul Gutheil #1

Buckles: Your computer, our scanner. Our scanner doesn't seem to bedoing too well lately. Nevertheless, here's a picture of, I believe, Lillian Lietzel photoed off the wall at CWM and am I correct in saying the next one is of you and the lovely Siam? Best as always, Paul

Did I say LL ? I meant Jenney Rooney. Help somebody. Whoever she is, "Ain't She Sweet?"

Thanks, Paul

Paul: You were right in your mistake, this is an early photo of Lillian Leitzel.

The most descriptive and adoring sentiments given Leitzel are to be found in Fred Bradna's THE BIG TOP. In his epilogue, "The After Show. The Greatest Show of All, A Circus Hall of Fame", he claims as "The Greatest Star: Unquestionably Lillian Leitzel. Her showmanship, her artistry, the management's ballyhoo of her act, are without parallel." He describes her act with devotion in his Chapter 13--"Love Story; Leitzel and Codona."
