Brandy Enterprises

Here is a show that combined stage and circus arena together. During their time their main source of work was fairs. The back drop was pipe and canvas drape, an easy up and down and very theatrical looking. These types of show were very popular in the 1940’s and 50’s. On the left side of ring curb is John Carson Sr, who clowned on the show and on stage are his family the Carson’s Royal Rockets skating act. In the early 1950’s my family and I performed with a similar kind of show as this one, called The Clarence Smith Review.
