I get to see Dagmar Beavers

at the club fairly often

I saw The Pedrolas on Mills Bros Circus and in addition to the cradle act, Gerda did a slide for life...Seems that Rudy worked the low wire as a drunk.....Long time ago....

Chic Silber said...


Gerda's slide was done as Iron Jaw

& yes Rudy played a New Year's Eve

drunk with colored streamers & an

empty champagne bottle in a tux

Dagmar & her husband Bill Beavers

still live in the house her father

built out in Myakka that he named

"Center Ring Ranch" & his driveway

is called "Center Ring Road"

Dagmar is the unofficial photograper

for our ShowFolks Club & she does

a great job for all of us

I seem to recall Rudy as the drunk

would interupt Gerda's wire routine

stumbling in & had a trick ladder

with collapsing step treads
