From Erik Jaeger



Buckles,
I believe the circus in the film "A Circus Wakes Up", to be Austrian Circus Rebernigg. Please see the attached photo. I enjoyed this bit of nostalgia very much, and am most grateful to Eric for sharing it! The film is available on YouTube under: Circus Wakes Up (1950). The elephant with the crossed tusks reminds me of Patti Zerbini's big male Luke. The photos brought back memories of Anna Mae and Peggy performing the barbershop routine on the Big Apple Circus, certainly one of my all-time favorite acts. Give thanks for residing in Florida, at the rate the snow is falling in Kansas today, it will be up to our asses by nightfall!
All the best to you, Barbara and family,
Erik Jaeger
