Roger Smith said...: Bobby Peck McGough was a superb circus girl, who excelled with horses. She was favorably compared in skill to Dorothy Herbert.; 29 November, 2015 01:04

She would retire to Dallas and was in some of the circus fan groups later in her life when I got to meet her. She went by her nickname of Bobby and was with RBBB in the early 30's. She was with the Budd Marcellus ballet troupe which also did the living statue display. Mid 30's she returned to Dallas and either opened or managed several successful night clubs. She was shut down by local law enforcememnt and had several trails if I remember correctly, but the juries would repeatedly refuse to convict her. This was after prohibition had ended, but either the city or county was still dry as she charged for liquor by the drink.
After this, she went back on the road with Hagenbeck-Wallace, Russell Bros.,etc. She would then return to RBBB and married William McGough who was supt.of the ticket department for many years. Went off the road in earlier 50's.
