From Henry Schroer #1



Here are some pictures of Evi Althoff with her Tiger Act in Germany
on the show she and her husband Franz Althoff owned, Circus Althoff Williams.

Hi Henry were these photos from

after she was on Ringling with the

horse & tiger (after Adolph left)

Looks like a cable mesh arena of

I believe Franz is your cousin

Yes, Franz is my cousin. My mother was the sister of Adolf. This pictures I believe where from end of 70s or sometimes in the 80s. Franz and Evi had there own Circus, called Circus Althoff Williams. He only used the name Williams because it was a well known Circus name in Germany. Later the changed the show in to a horse show, a musical that was written for this show which included all kind of presentations with horses. The had 80 horses on the show and also some professional actors and singers etc. It was a big hit and the toured for over 10 years with this show.
