#1 The Big Show

I have run these pictures several times over the years but never get tired of looking at them.
In the early 1950's my father booked our elephant act thru a Chicago Agent, Howard Schultz and we played a lot of Shopping Centers in the area (an incredibly boring existence) but afforded the opportunity of often catching the Ringling Show while they played Soldier Field parking lot.

I saw Penzance done by a local Group in Michigan years ago, Quite good!

There's a line that goes, "Go Rebel hence!.....to your cabin with celerity!
.....and a standing joke among the Cast, "Who's playing Celerity tonight?
