In 1964 the Beatty Show furnished their Big Top and elephants for a show in Palasades Park that lapped over into their opening in Comack. So they hired us and Oscar Cristiani to finish out the last two weeks. Here we are with "Anna May", "Lydia" and "Sadie". Bill English was in charge, a very nice man and we used his brand new Sells & Gray Big top for the menagerie. |

THANKS for SHARING, BUCKLES!
YESSIR!
Sells & Gray was another "Acme"
show although it was presented
by "Kit Circus Operating Co"
in honor of Bill's wife Kit
I'll send you the logo
When we played Lighthouse Field, in Philadelphia, the show was augmented impressively. Sells & Gray's new 1964 Big Top was also used then as our Menagerie. The separate Side Show out front gave us a grand appearance for this big 11-day stand. Out in the hinterlands, S&G got their Big Top back, and one top served for both Beatty-Cole's Side Show and Menagerie.
