Bill Woodcock #1



"Al G. Kelly-Miller Circus 1950
Eddie Dullum- Bill Woodcock
"Kay"


Came across these photos of my father with Kelly-Miller
His captions above are included


I might add that the elephants were the last things in Spec and this cart was on the tail end.
As they exited the tent the final five would would peel off, continue into the five  pre-set rings and go right into their routines.
"Jenny" and "Hattie" did plank walks
"Anna May" rolled a globe
"Barbara" handstand pedistal and "Kay" did her bottle walk with the axle of this cart barely clearing the bottles. The number was concluded with "Kay" doing an "Up & Over" while still in the shafts and on occasion tipping the cart over coming out of the trick.....spilling out a terrified Eddie Dullum! 
.....to Smokey Jones comment.....finally got a laugh!
