Great showfolks that he was, Jimmy also steadied her steps on rough lots, and served as protection from the too-curious on the way. While she was at the Silver Sleeper, she was ably secured by our imperious guardian of virtue, Miss Ophelia.
Boy hidy, it did. If Johnny still has it, and tours again, I encourage him to haul it out of the "Graveyard" around back, and re-fit it for the road again. What a hoot that would be for us Beatty show vets.
Think I mentioned above, I'm putting in for this revival's cat act.

Miss Margaret Ann from
the Silver Sleeper shown

You beat me by 1 minute

Saw her on Hoxie Bros Circus, Milledgeville, Ga, closing day of the Season. Was able to have a photo op with her...Treasure that moment of long ago.
Margaret & her mother lived in
"The Penthouse" above the 5th
wheel separate from the main
aisle of berths wher Ophelia
maintained her strict decorum
What history that sleeper had
