Damoo Dhorte on the left, who was presenting one of the Alfred Court leopard acts on RBBB. I think that is Sverre Braathen on the right who took thousands of color slides on RBBB and other shows.

Bob Good, Allentown, Pa, circus photographer. Traveled with Ringling for one season in mid-1920s working on ring stock. Great friend of Clyde Beatty (and his fishing companion), Jorgen Christianson, and others. He circulated outstanding sets of photographs that he took on various shows. Obtained and continued to circulate Charles Bernards' early circus pictures. Also obtained the non-glass plate circus photographs of Frederick Glazier. His son Bob Good, semi-pro acrobat and juggler, gave his father's photos to the Circus World Museum in the 1970s. The lists issued by his father individually describe each photo within the sets he sold--still a useful reference. All his photos carry his name and address stamp on the back.

Yes, that is my Dad, but he and Clyde did not fish that I know of. Clyde did love to fish, however.

Some Glazier negs my Dad had were glass plate including the famous pic of the forty horse hitch.

I vaguely remember Damoo. His teeth were lined with gold and he had a great smile. I still remember him turning around and looking at me in the back of the car. He was quite a figure. I got a bird on a stick from him and that took care of me watching the show.

I stamped a fair share of those pics and may have mailed yours out.

Thanks for the memories evryone.
