From Chic Silber #3



 Sure looks a lot like the May Wirth sheet.

This exact same poster has Evy Karoly's name instead of Kay's, but we all know how that works.

Not 100% sure, but maybe June Cristiani too.

You're both right. The pose was used for years by several old shows including both Ringling and Ringling-Barnum for Ms Wirth.

This particular rendering was originally done for Cole Bros in 1935 and featured Jennie O'Brien. It was later rehashed with both June Cristiani's and Kay Hanneford's names, then in very late years (1960s) Acme printed it for the King show with Evy Karoly's name.

This bill has been rehashed more times than Carter has pills. I have a King Bros. "Jenny O'Brien" from 1966 and a Robbins Bros. "Evy Karoly" from 1965.
