From Day Before Yesterday!


Hi Buckles. I saw this on your blog this morning. That's my dad on the bottom. Johnny Hartzell. His partner on top, I've forgotten his name. But as you can see its a double trapeze act. The top guy is in a plange doing an iron jaw holding my dad who is hanging by the back if his neck. They did a lot of vaudeville with this act. I remember him telling me they got $17.00 per week. And they had to split that between them.
