Astley was a “Stage name” very cleverly taken by my mothers family. They ran the Astley’s Royal Circus, also sometimes called Astley’s American Circus during the mid 1920’s until late 1930’s early 1940’s The photo is of two programs not posters.
I have lots of pictures of their Circus that I got after my mother passed away and the only information of the dates that I have are mostly by my memory that I was told as a child and by guessing by how old I think my mother was in some pictures as she was born in 1921.

Thanks Sue these are all great
Interesting showtimes unless it
was intended to give latecomers
time to get seated for come in
I like the 4 digit phone number
I'm guessing your mom was Astley
Sue & married a Yelding
I wonder if these posters were
generic pictorials that might
have been used by other shows
as the green panels suggest
