Jorgen Christenson with his Storybook Act. Jorgen was well known for his 24 horse liberty act on Ringling in the twenties. Later my Dad worked for him when he had his cremolines or palominos. This was discussed some time back on the blog.
Johnny Heriott would get a kick out of that pic. Jorgen was one of his mentors.
Jorgen had some of the first guanacos in this country as I recall.
Seeing the goat in the act reminded me of the first time I saw Franzen Brothers Circus at the Genesee County Fairgrounds, which was just south of Flint, MI. Wayne had put together a liberty goat act that was fun to see. It was something that was out of the ordinary on a circus, at least from my circus experiences previous to that time.
