This looks like Bert Pettus with the Wiedaman elephants "Zetta", "Peggy" and "Dorothy". Mr. Jackson has included RBC? Can't figure out the words on the coveralls or the act's relationship with the sousaphone, if any. Buckles |

That's a Heubert Castle ring curb for sure!
Off down left is what was pitched
as "Mickey Mouse In A Glass House"
Right, this is Bert Pettus, in a rare photo without his signature white Captain's cap. The lettering on the light green workingman's coveralls is Hubert Castle at top, International at bottom, and CIRCUS across the center. The men were constantly admonished to take off the coveralls after each show, and to hang them up. To my eye, there is no one else who had that hairline and build other than the loyal and hard-working man who joined out with us in Grand Rapids, Michigan--Manley Gilbert. His appearance here dates this photo as 1972.
