In Later Years

The ASC, wouldn't last long! Conceived in last months of the season, it was doomed to break up before the end of the season! Bill's, duplicated and not printed, are the formost reason for the breakup. Added to the three way partnership arguing, incessantly - arguing over Route mainly, as the three could not afford the advance agent! I was the advance many times, I even got a Printer to print the daybill, the Bill which showed the acts.
I was relieved when the season ended, on November the first!

Sinclair Brothers Gala Circus - Gala Circus - weekends and holidays only - gave me time to work with C.J. & M.F. Weight's Circus,
With Raymer's, - which I did successive weekends to galas - and with the late Tony Luke - who invited the family to a Summer Season which came in the summer where I was down on Luck, and didn't know how to spend my holiday!

I remember the appearance that I made in English style Christmas Pantomime for two weeks (Jack and The Beanstalk, The Giant is stilt walker!) and Music Hall (Fire Eater and the first routine I did with my son!).
Not forgetting our own gala circus!
