I've told the story on the Blog many times, of us and Oscar Cristiani filling in for Rex and the Beatty Show elephants when they pulled out of Palasades Park prematurely to open in Comack.
I sure liked working in that big 150' top, it also shows how my father had originally routined the act with the elephants positioned in opposing directions.
But most importantly a good shot of the bull tubs for Chic before they had been elevated.

Thanks Buckles but these don't
look like they could have been
modified to become the "W"s
These have nearly vertical sides
I guess you meant these were
the previous tubs
I well recall those open frame
lights hung from the quarters
they were protection for 1000
watt PS 52 lamps that I still
have cases of here in storage
Shortly after this I started to
develop newer lighting fixtures
Must have been a rehearsal as
the reserved hardwood are empty
I guess that's section K behind
62 was my 2nd year on frontlight
in Commack & the year I became
circus infected (& affected)
Nicely painted fingernails on the
girls has a classy look to it
I believe that Leaf top had three
48 foot middles & peaked at about
49 feet on 55 foot center poles
There were 20 inside quarters at
34 feet & 30 outside quarters at
26 feet & 76 sidewall at 12 & 4
doorway poles at 16 (from Leif)
Inside quarters had blue ends
Outside quarters had red ends
