Roger Smith said...: When John Ringling cut cat acts for the three seasons of 1925 through 1927, Mabel Stark raised hell, but he held her to her Generally Useful contract. She cursed these "damn three wasted years", but she honored her signature and performed well with Mr. John's horses. Her albums have shots of her in the waltz-and-rear in the lay-back, and she did the ascension horse aboard the great white steed, Jupiter--even taking this act to the Olympia for Bertram Mills.; 29 March, 2016 15:51
