Robinson’s Elephants, photographed at Pittsburgh’s Kennywood Amusement Park. During the late 1920’s and early 1930s, Kennywood presented free circus acts on an island stage that had been built over a portion of the park’s man-made “Lake Kennywood.” |

Music for the Kennywood circus acts was provided by Pittsburgh musician Izzy Cervone and his “Redcoat Band.” Izzy, of course, later led the bands at Orrin Davenport’s indoor circus dates and was Ringling-Barnum’s bandleader from 1956 to 1960.
