Barnett Bros. Circus early 1930's #1 (Group 1)

Another set of remarkable slides from Eric Beheim, taken 70 years ago and as they say in Bandwagon Magazine, "A window to the past". I have been invited to submit dozen or so "highlights" from the past year's Buckles Blog for the upcoming Showfolks Circus Program. Very flattering. And on an unrelated matter, in one of my advertisements shown above, it states that you can see Banum & Bailey Circus free. Looks like Dickie Garden and Bob Commerford get the last laugh.

This is the conclusion of the Eric Beheim 1951 transparencies.

Tony Martin

When my parents and I saw the show in 1954, Tony was now Mrs. Arky Scott. Barbara recently mentioned that she and Tony had been together on the Dailey Show in the late 1940's. John Herriott thinks that there is a Eugene Scott Jr. living in Sarasota. Seems to me that when we were with Rudy Bros. in 1959 and layed off at Jungleland, I recall two little blonde kids with Arky and Tony. Maybe Roger Smith can clear this up.
